Bounce TV will also air the memorial service scheduled for 2:00 p.m. ET, which will include eulogies by President Bill Clinton, Bryant Gumbel and Billy Crystal.

Between the procession and the service, Bounce TV will present The Greatest, the 1977 motion picture in which Ali stars as himself.

A dramatization of Ali’s life, The Greatest begins with Cassius Clay winning gold at the 1960 Olympic Games and then follows his victory over Sonny Liston, his conversion to Islam and name change, Ali’s refusal of the military draft on religious grounds and subsequent nearly four-year long court battle to fight again.

Ali wins the legal victory and then returns to the ring and takes part in what many consider some of the greatest boxing matches of all time.

Bounce TV will also include several special tributes to Ali and his impact on boxing throughout the telecast of Premier Boxing Champions – The Next Round Sunday night, June 12 starting at 9:00 p.m. ET.

Bounce TV is an African-American (AA) TV network. Among the founders of Bounce TV are top American figures Martin Luther King, III and Ambassador Andrew Young.
