The legend boxer Muhammad Ali has received a humanitarian award Thursday in a ceremony attended by 1,000 in his Kentucky hometown of Louisville, according to local media.

The 73-year-old who is battling Parkinson's disease, reportedly appeared on stage with his wife, Lonnie Ali, in front of a packed auditorium during the event at the Louisville Palace, near the site where he was introduced to boxing at age 12.
