Muhammad Ali to be buried after final journey through hometown

A funeral procession for Muhammad Ali will travel through his hometown, passing by his childhood home to the first boxing gym where he trained -- the places where the legendary boxer spent his early, formative years.

After the morning procession, The Greatest will be laid to rest Friday.

Throngs of supporters are expected to line the streets of his final journey, including Muhammad Ali Boulevard, as the procession starts at 9 a.m. ET through Louisville. The 16 to 18 car procession is scheduled to pass the Ali Center, go by his childhood home, weave past Central High where he graduated and then continue to the Columbia Gym where he first trained.

The 90-minute procession will end at the Cave Hill Cemetery, where he will be buried in a private ceremony.
