By the way man, what the hell happened to Tommy Morrison? He was a ****in good fighter.
Rocky V star Tommy "The Duke" Morrison failed a pre-fight physical examination, testing positive for HIV. He immediately announced his retirement from the ring.
Now a decade later, Tommy Morrison plans to take on the Nevada State Athletic Commission that banned him from the sport and launch a comeback.
Morrison (46-3-1, 40 KOs) wants to return to the ring at the age of 37 and attempt to pick up where he left off nearly 10 years ago. But he'll be faced with strong opposition when it comes to regaining his boxing license in America because of his illness.
"I'm a young 37," Morrison said. "I didn't get beat up. Hell, I only lost three fights out of 50."
"I'm looking forward to fighting someone," he said. "I can do it. There's no doubt about it. It pisses me off that they won't let me, but I'm going to try and change that. There's no way they should be able to kick me out of the sport for something that's harmless, unless you believe the government."
Morrison is planning to file a lawsuit against the Nevada State Athletic Commission on the grounds of HIV discrimination for refusing to grant him a boxing license and preventing him from making a living as a boxer.
That Lewis/Bowe fight is likely what would have happened in the pros too.Comment
