Muhammad Ali's boxing trainer Angelo Dundee
died on Wednesday at the age of 90 at his home in Tampa, Florida,,
his family said.
"Angelo died surrounded by family and friends. He was very happy
that he got to celebrate Ali's (70th) birthday earlier this year," a
statement said.
"He still had much to do, but led a full and extraordinary
life."
Dundee trained 15 world champions in his career, including Sugar
Ray Leonard and George Foreman, but he is remembered most for being
in charge during Ali's biggest fights.
The first success came in 1964 when Ali famously upset Johnny
Liston for the world title. Dundee was also responsible in Ali's
major fights in the 1970s against Foreman and Joe Frazier.
