Muhammad Ali's funeral scheduled to be held in his hometown
Muhammad Ali's funeral will be held June 10 in his hometown of Louisville, Ky., a spokesman for Ali's family said Saturday afternoon.
The funeral is scheduled for 2 p.m. at the KFC Yum! Center and will be open to the public. There will be a public procession beforehand which will begin at 9 a.m., and its route "includes locations that were historically important to Muhammad," according to a statement.
Eulogies will be given by former President Bill Clinton, Billy Crystal and Bryant Gumbel.
Ali family spokesman Bob Gunnell said the former three-time heavyweight champ died Friday at 9:10 p.m. of septic shock "due to unspecified natural causes," spending the last hour of his life surrounded by his family. He was initially hospitalized in the Phoenix area on Monday.
