Farewell to The Greatest: Pall-bearers Mike Tyson and Will Smith load legendary boxer's coffin into hearse as thousands line the streets of his hometown chanting 'Ali, Ali' 

Thousands are bidding a final farewell to legendary boxer Muhammad Ali in a miles-long funeral procession and service in his hometown where his coffin is being taken around his old neighborhood in a hearse. Actor Will Smith and boxer Mike Tyson are among the pallbearers who placed Ali's coffin in the black hearse for the procession that will start at his boyhood home where he shadowboxed and dreamed of greatness. It will then travel to the boulevard that bears his name and the museum that stands as a lasting tribute to his boxing triumphs and his humanitarian causes outside the ring. Mourners standing alongside the procession route could be heard chanting Ali's name and waving at the vehicle carrying his body.
