At tonight's ESPY Awards ceremony
Earlier this summer, boxing titan Muhammad Ali died of septic shock. Now, U.S. sports network ESPN is set to pay tribute to him with a very special guest.
Chance the Rapper, whose mixtape Coloring Book dropped this past May, will honour "The Greatest" as part of the ESPYS' tribute to the boxer. Chance announced his involvement via Twitter this morning, but there's little word as of yet what Chance's role entails in the ceremony.
The ESPYS are ESPN's annual awards ceremony to recognize excellence in the sports world. WWE wrestler and frequent meme target John Cena will host this year's ceremony, which premieres in the U.S. at 20:00 (that's 1:00 our time).
