The three-time heavyweight champion died at the age of 74 on June 4 at 9:10 p.m. MST, days after being treated for respiratory complications at a Phoenix-area hospital. The cause of death was “septic shock due to unspecified natural causes,” family spokesperson Bob Gunnell confirmed on Saturday.

Ali’s casket arrived in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, on Sunday ahead of the June 10 funeral and public memorial service, which will be held at KFC Yum! Center at 2 p.m. local time and open to the public. Fans will also be able to stream the service online.

Smith, 47, paid tribute to Ali in a Facebook post on Saturday writing, “You shook up the World! My Mentor & My Friend. You changed my Life. Rest in Peace.”

And in 2015, Smith spoke fondly of his “very unique connection” to the sports hero. “For nearly two years, I worked to transform myself into the man who changed his name from Cassius Clay to Muhammad Ali and shook up the world,” he said about on Ali’s work and career during a speech at Sports Illustrated‘s 2015 Sportsperson of Year ceremony.
