Thousands Say Goodbye To Muhammad Ali As The Boxer Is Laid To Rest -- Live Stream & Details HERE

Muhammad Ali
Today Muhammad Ali is laid to rest.
After a nearly 20-mile long procession through the late boxer’s hometown of Louisville, Kentucky — the family and mourners alike gathered in the KFC Yum! Center to honor the life and legacy of the athlete.
As you know, Ali passed away last Friday at the age of 74 after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease.
Thousands of fans lined the streets as the procession took the coffin past Ali’s childhood home, the Ali Center, the Center for African American Heritage, and then finally down Muhammad Ali Boulevard.
Will Smith and ex-boxers Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis were honored with being pallbearers for the service. Tyson decided last minute to attend the funeral after concerns he would be “too emotional.” So sad.

Former President Bill Clinton, actor Billy Crystal, lifelong friend John Ramsey, and sportscaster Bryant Gumbel are all set to deliver eulogies honoring The People’s Champ.
Following the ceremony, the family – including Ali’s nine children, wife, and two ex-wives — will gather for a private burial at Cave Hill cemetery.
What a powerful day, and even more important, a powerful legacy.
