Former president Bill Clinton and comedian Billy Crystal are among those due to speak Friday at a memorial in a sports arena in the Kentucky city where Ali -- a three-time world heavyweight champion -- grew up and threw his first punches.
The charismatic Ali, a dazzling fighter and outspoken civil rights activist who became one of the 20th century's most towering figures, died on Friday at age 74 after health problems complicated by a long battle with Parkinson's disease.
""Ali is now home,"" Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer tweeted.
A private plane carrying the casket and Ali's relatives arrived in Louisville Le'Veon Bell Jersey , the largest city in Kentucky, from Arizona, where he died.

Fischer told AFP that the city -- whose residents have left flowers Antonio Brown Jersey , balloons and tributes at Ali's childhood home -- was ready for a massive celebration to honor its most famous son.

After a small family funeral on Thursday, Ali's coffin will be transported Friday through the streets of Louisville, before a private burial and the public memorial service at the KFC Yum! Center.
The procession has been organized to ""allow anyone that is there from the world to say goodbye Wholesale Steelers Hoodies ,"" family spokesman Bob Gunnell told reporters.

Ali's family ultimately removed him from life support on Friday, Gunnell said.
""Our hearts are literally hurting. But we are happy daddy is free now,"" one of Ali's nine children, daughter Hana Wholesale Steelers Shirts , wrote on Twitter.
""We all tried to stay strong and whispered in his ear, 'You can go now. We will be okay,'"" she wrote.
