Tommy Morrison Autographs
Tommy Morrison (January 2, 1969 – September 1, 2013) was an American professional boxer and mixed martial artist who competed from 1988 to 2009. Best known for his left hook and formidable punching power, Morrison won the World Boxing Organization heavyweight title in 1993 with a unanimous decision victory over George Foreman. He lost the title in his second defense to Michael Bentt that same year. Morrison's other boxing highlights include his fight with Ray Mercer in 1991. In 1995, he won the minor International Boxing Council heavyweight title when he defeated Donovan Ruddock by technical knockout (TKO). He retired from boxing in 1996 after he tested positive for HIV. Morrison is also known for his acting career, having starred alongside Sylvester Stallone in the 1990 film Rocky V as Tommy Gunn.
Morrison made a brief comeback to boxing from 2007 to 2008 when the Nevada commission lifted the indefinite worldwide suspension in July 2006, and briefly dabbled in the world of MMA. As a mixed martial artist, he scored a notable first-round knockout win over Wyoming state heavyweight champion Corey Williams in 2009, which ultimately became the last fight Morrison ever had in combat sports before his final retirement due to his declining health that began in 2011.
Morrison was born in Gravette, Arkansas. His mother, Diana, was Native American (half Ponca and half Otoe) and his father Tim was of Irish ancestry. Morrison was raised in Delaware County, Oklahoma, spending most of his teenage years in Jay. His nickname, "The Duke", is based on the claim that he was a grand-nephew (or otherwise distant relative) of the Hollywood star John Wayne (né Marion Morrison), nicknamed "Duke". Tommy's father urged him to take up boxing in the 1970s. When Tommy was 15 years old, his mother used a fake ID and entered her son into a "toughman" contest (the minimum age for contestants was 18). He later told The New York Times that he lost only one of these matches.
