More than 14,000 people of every race and creed were present Thursday in a muslim ceremony – prayer…
organized in memory of boxer Muhammad Ali .
The ζανάζα, the funeral, in Arabic, took place in the conference room of Freedom Hall, on the same complex, where the former heavyweight champion of the world defeated Willie Μπέσμανοφ 1961, in the last race that he gave in Louisville, Kentucky.
The last good-bye to the Muhammad Ali will be given today, Friday, in an inter-religious ceremony in the presence of former U.S. president Bill Clinton, Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the actor Billy Crystal.
