When HIV-INFECTED Tommy Morrison Fight In Japan

In 1996, Tommy Morrison was just a few hours away from a comeback bout that was supposed to lead him to Mike Tyson when he got the news that he had tested positive for HIV.
By invitation of George Foreman, Morrison traveled to Japan in November 1996, to fight Marcus Rhode on the undercard, headlined by Foreman himself of his title defense of his Lineal and WBU championship against Crawford Grimsley.

Tommy seemed like a good guy. He went a little off the rails near the end but that’s another story. He had a solid career. Was definitely exciting to watch and I bet his career would have been different if Ray Mercer didn’t have a chin made of granite and took every single punch Tommy had in his arsenal to comeback and finish him with bone of the most brutal KOs in history. RIP Tommy Morrison.
