Tommy Morrison a former WBO Champ who gained fame by beating the legendary George Foreman in the early 90’s died late Sunday night at the age of 44.
At this point it remains undetermined how Morrison (who tested positive for HIV back in 1996) died however Doghouse Boxing is reporting that the boxer died of “respiratory and metabolic acidosis and multiple organ failure.”
Morrison too is also remembered for co-starring in Rocky V (which is by far the worst in the Rocky film series) as Tommy Gunn an up and coming boxer who was originally trained by Balboa only to turn on him culminating into one of the more forgettable fight scenes in movie history.
RIP Tommy Gunn.
