Muhammad Ali funeral to be streamed live at O2 Arena in London

The funeral of boxing legend Muhammad Ali will be streamed live at the O2 Arena in London on Friday.

The funeral of boxing legend Muhammad Ali will be streamed live at London's O2 Arena on Friday.

The former three-time world heavyweight champion died last Friday at the age of 74 having suffered respiratory problems that were complicated by his Parkinson's disease.

Ali's death sparked a plethora of tributes to a man widely regarded as one of the most iconic in sports history, and mourners will have a chance to watch his funeral live at the site of his 'I Am The Greatest Exhibition' on Friday.

It will be shown on giant screens from 7pm BST tomorrow, with the public able to leave flowers and sign a book of condolence outside the venue.

The funeral itself will take place in Ali's hometown of Louisville, Kentucky and will also be streamed live on AliCanter.org.
