Muhammad Ali to be mourned with traditional Muslim prayer service
Muslims have travelled from all over the world to stand shoulder-to-shoulder in a Kentucky arena for a final tribute to Muhammad Ali.
A fellow Muslim with the same name as the boxing great travelled from Bangladesh. Mohammad Ali, who arrived with no hotel reservation, said he met the boxer in the early 1970s and they struck up a friendship based on their shared name.
