(AP) — A funeral is planned Wednesday in Louisville, Kentucky for boxing legend Muhammad Ali, who died Friday at age 74.
A family statement says he was hospitalized in the Phoenix area with respiratory problems earlier this week, and his children had flown in from around the country.
With a wit as sharp as the punches he used to “whup” opponents, Ali dominated sports for two decades before time and Parkinson’s disease ended his storied career in 1981.
