The ESPY Awards is always an interesting show to watch. It’s packed full of the biggest athletes and stars from across the world. This year, Chance The Rapper will be in attendance and he has something special planned.
Coming off his stellar third mixtape Coloring Book, Chance seems to be shining brighter than ever within the public eye. He announced Tuesday he would honor the late Muhammad Ali Wednesday night (July 13) at the ESPY Awards.

Ali passed away last month due to a respiratory illness, but the legend lives on today through the sport of boxing, which he of course loved so much and the countless people he managed to inspire and motivate in his 74 years of life.
No one is really sure what Chance has planned, but knowing the Chicago rapper, it’s sure to be something special. The 2016 ESPYS, hosted by WWE wrestling star John Cena will air tonight at 8 p.m. EST.
