Boxing greats including Muhammad Ali today paid their respects to former heavyweight champion Joe Frazier at a private funeral after he died last week following a battle with liver cancer.

Former heavyweight champion Larry Holmes and promoter Don King were among 4,000 people who attended the two-hour service at the Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Civil rights advocate Reverend Jesse Jackson gave stirring remarks, asking fans to stand and 'show your love' for Frazier, 67, which prompted Ali to rise and vigorously clap for his fallen rival.
