Muhammad Ali is "not in any pain" and leads a "full and beautiful life" despite living with advancing Parkinson's Disease, according to his daughter Hana.
"I call him in the mornings, every morning, he speaks the best in the mornings. You could actually hear his soft sweet voice," she said.
"He jokes, he kids around about making a comeback even now today. So he would want the world to know that he enjoys being Muhammad Ali."
Speaking at the launch of I Am Ali, a new documentary about the 72-year-old former boxing legend's life, Hana's sister Maryum added that her father does not want people to feel sorry for him.
"You want to know about Muhammad Ali look up about what Parkinson's is. He has had it for 30 years and he has handled it like a champ," she said.
"He has fought it like any other opponent he has had. He has raised a lot of money for research and awareness and has really enhanced the Parkinson's community in his way so just be happy for him.
"Hana said that my dad said 'I've lived the life of 100 men.' So just be proud he is still with us and that he left that legacy for us," she added.
I Am Ali, which is released in the UK on November 28, contains new personal archived footage of the boxer and his family.
