Actor Will Smith and former heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis will be among the pallbearers for Muhammad Ali's funeral on Friday, joining a list of notable athletes, entertainers and politicians to mourn the boxing legend.
Smith played Ali in the 2001 movie of the same name, earning an Oscar nomination and becoming a family friend.
London-born Lewis, who went on to represent Canada in the Olympics, is one of three boxers along with Ali and Evander Holyfield to have held the heavyweight title three times.
More than 30,000 tickets will be distributed to the public for two memorials scheduled for Thursday and Friday in sports arenas in Louisville, Kentucky.
Ali, who suffered from Parkinson's disease for many years, and his family had planned his funeral for a decade.
