Legendary boxer Muhammad Ali is pictured with his fists clenched and lifted in a 'fight' position for the final time in haunting photographs from his last photo shoot by British photographer Zenon Texeira who was invited into Ali’s home in Phoenix, Arizona, at the end of March this year. The harrowing effects of fighting Parkinson’s disease for 32 years can be seen in the beautiful photos published by the Daily Mail for the first time.

       The body of the three-time heavyweight champion and outspoken civil rights activist, Muhammad Ali, has arrived in his hometown of Louisville - where he'll be laid to rest. An airplane carrying
his casket, which was wrapped in a black cloth bearing Arabic scripture in gold on it, arrived from Arizona, ahead of a public funeral procession and service expected to draw huge crowds.

The Ali' Family spokesman Bob Gunnell says his body was accompanied by his wife, Lonnie, and other family members and friends. Once the body was offloaded, Police escorted the casket from the airport to the funeral home.
