Muhammad Ali Junior, the deceased bokselegendes only biological son, may hutle himself with odd jobs and live on less than 50 cents a day.
He had expected to inherit a sum equivalent to just over 33 million dollars after his father’s death in 2016, the 74-year-old.
But he tells the Daily Mirror, he only receives minor amounts from the estate, and it means that he must keep christmas without a cent in his pocket.
– I have no plans for christmas. I am just trying to keep me alive, he says to the newspaper.
– I accept anything, construction work, breaking up of cement, repainting, but right now I have nothing to do. I also make gartnerarbejde and cleans sewers. My friend lets me borrow his equipment, and then he gets half.

46-year-old Junior lives in a rented room in an apartment in Miami, while his ex-wife and their two small children live in Englewood in Chicago, an area with one of AMERICA’s highest kriminalitetsrater.
They are barely on speaking, after she in 2016, gave an interview in which she – in the follow him – falsely said, that he had escaped to Florida with his fortune.
He claims that he moved to be closer to his mother, Khalilah, boksekoryfæets second wife in the period from 1967-77, and to find work. The last was not successful.

Junior claims that the estate pays 1,000 dollars for him per month, of which a large part goes to rent. He has no bank account and need to pay to redeem the check, which leaves him with less than 50 dollars a day.
– I miss my kids so much. My wife says I betrayed them and got millions, but it was wrong. Although I have no money, I would love to be able to send money to my children and be able to buy a plane ticket to Chicago.
He feels powerless in relation to the part of the family, which controls the estate.
– I have the to hell with it, but what can I do?
– I’m trying to get more money paid, but they won’t. They say that I can get more if I need them, but the last time they cut the instead down on my amount, he said to the Daily Mirror, who in vain attempted to obtain a comment from the estate of the man regarded as history’s greatest boxer.
He greatness has apparently not rubbed off on his descendants.
