PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Retired boxing great Muhammad Ali will visit Philadelphia to receive the Liberty Medal, an award recognizing his longtime role as a fighter outside the ring for humanitarian causes, civil rights and religious freedom.

The honor will be presented on Thursday during a ceremony at the National Constitution Center by the champ’s daughter, who is also a boxer, and two U.S. Olympic athletes. It comes with a $100,000 cash prize.

‘‘Ali embodies the spirit of the Liberty Medal by embracing the ideals of the Constitution — freedom, self-governance, equality and empowerment — and helping to spread them across the globe,’’ former President Bill Clinton, the center’s chairman, said in a statement.

Andrea Mitchell: Do you agree with Romney that the No.#1 threat to the US is Russia?
Madeline: If you lived in the 20th century, maybe. But this is the 21st Century.

Oh snap! Mittens kicked in the nuts by a 75 year old lady, with spike heels.
