For a man who preached inclusiveness and reached millions around the world, it's a fitting way to let his fans say goodbye.
Muhammad Ali's funeral and jenazah -- or Muslim funeral prayer service -- will be open to the public, his spokesman Bob Gunnell said.
And one of the venues will be the site of Ali's last hometown fight in Louisville, Kentucky.
The jenazah will take place at noon Thursday at Freedom Hall -- where Ali defeated Willi Besmanoff on November 29, 1961.
A total of 14,000 tickets will be available on a first come, first service basis, starting at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Gunnell said. Four tickets maximum per request will be available from the Freedom Hall box office.
