Tommy Morrison to Fight Again on April 27th
After not having fought a professional fight in more than a decade, heavyweight Tommy Morrison is set to step in the ring for the second time in just over two months. Morrison had been suspended indefinitely after having tested positive for HIV in 1996.
Morrison was reportedly tested several times with negative results over the recent months and given license to fight in West Virginia for February 22, it was Morrisons first fight in more than a decade and resulted in another win by way of knockout for “The Duke”
Tommy will fight the second fight of his incredible comeback this weekend in Houston - if he passes the required tests in order to be licensed in the state, which will include a blood test for the presence of HIV. Morrison says that he will have no problem taking and passing any of the required tests and Dickie Cole of the Texas Combative Sports Department reportedly told espn.com that Morrison would be treated the same as any other fighter applying for license.
So if Tommy holds true to his word and passes the required tests, he will face Dale Ortiz in a four round fight at the Grand Plaza Hotel in Houston, and continue what could become the greatest comeback in sports history.
Here’s a brief look at some of the amazing knockouts Tommy delivered before his decade long hiatus from the boxing ring:
