The funeral service will be held in Ali's hometown of Louisville, Kentucky at the KFC Yum! Center from 2-4 p.m. According to Entertainment Tonight, the service is opened to the public and can be streamed live.

The funeral service is expected to be graced by famous people, Hollywood A-listers, and world leaders. Along with other stars, Billy Crystal is set to deliver a tribute to Ali, while Bill Clinton might also give his final send-off.

Muhammad Ali will also have an Islamic memorial service, called a Jenazah, on Thursday at Freedom Hall in Louisville, according to NY Daily News.

"Everything we're doing here was blessed by Muhammad Ali and was requested," the Ali family's spokesman Bob Gunnell said.

"He wanted the memorial service to reflect his life and how he lived. He wanted everyone to be able to attend. He was the people's champ. He wanted the memorial service to reflect that," he added.

Will Smith starred in the 2001 biopic film, Ali. His portrayal as the "one of the most significant and celebrated sports figures of the 20th century" gave him his first ever Academy Award nomination.

"You shook up the World!" Will Smith honored Muhammad Ali on his Facebook Page. "My Mentor & My Friend. You changed my Life. Rest in Peace."
