Former heavyweight world champion Leon Spinks, who was recently hospitalized in Las Vegas due to cancer and is in intensive care, has shown "small signs" of improvement.

"Leon is currently in intensive care at a Las Vegas hospital receiving attentive medical care to suppress prostate cancer which he was diagnosed with earlier this year and has since spread to his bladder," a family spokesman said in a statement on Friday night. "The last few months have been an agonizing roller coaster for Leon and his wife, Brenda, with continuous hospital stays. Leon is showing small signs of improvement and progress.

"A miraculous fighter his entire life, we are optimistic and hopeful that he will move out of ICU soon. The power of prayer is real, and his family is beyond grateful for all of the tremendous love and support."
