	*On March 15, 1971, seven days after defeating Muhammad Ali, Frazier was admitted to St. Luke's and Children's Medical Center in Philadelphia. He was mentally and physically fatigued and suffering from high blood pressure. While he was hospitalized, there were rumors that he was seriously ill and even dead. His physician, Dr. James C. Giuffre, diagnosed Frazier as having "athlete's kidney." He explained that the condition can develop from forced bending and straining back muscles around the kidneys. Dr. Giuffre said it was not connected to his fight with Ali because there were no body blows to the kidneys. "It's a transient thing," he said, "and with rest everything returns to normal." Frazier was released from the hospital on March 27, 1971.

	*Frazier's manager and trainer, Yank Durham, died from a stroke at age 52 on August 30, 1973.		*Frazier's manager and trainer, Yank Durham, died from a stroke at age 52 on August 30, 1973.
	*Frazier injured his left eye early in his career in a training accident. As he worked on a speed bag in a Philadelphia gym, a broken bolt threw tiny shards of metal into his eyes. The incident was kept secret to allow him to continue fighting, but the resulting scar tissue developed into a cataract. By November 1975, it was clear that Frazier would go blind without surgery. While the surgery removed the cataract and kept the eye from further deterioration, it was too late—he was legally blind in his left eye. Frazier wore a contact lens in his left eye when he fought a rematch with [[George Foreman]] on June 15, 1976. The lens was knocked loose during the fight, and Frazier was knocked out in the fifth round.
