*Muhammad Ali‘s daughter says her dad is “doing so much better” after being hospitalized with pneumonia over the weekend.

Rasheda Ali-Walsh tells TMZ that she not surprised by his quick recovery.

“My daddy is a strong man. He’s so resilient and we’re all very grateful and blessed,” she said.

Rasheda says the family has been receiving lots of well-wishes and prayers since Ali, 72, was hospitalized in Kentucky over the weekend.

“When I see my dad, I’m gonna tell him about all the people who have sent their love,” Rasheda says. “I know it’s gonna make him feel great to know all these people are thinking about him. He’ll love it.”
