The procession will pass the Muhammad Ali Center and make its way down Muhammad Ali Boulevard, before concluding at the Cave Hill Cemetery. The memorial is expected to be an interfaith service with representatives from different religions. A family spokesman said 15,000 people are expected to attend the service.

Ali died last Friday at age 74 after being admitted into hospital earlier in the week with a respiratory condition.
