TommyMorrison's career reached its pinnacle on a hot June night in LasVegas, when he stepped into the ring and beat George Foreman to
become heavyweight champion.It reached its nadir when he tested
positive for HIV three years later.
The
last 20 years of the brash boxer's life would be defined by extensive
legal troubles, erratic behavior and mounting health problems.
Morrison would later claim that he never tested positive for the
virus that causes AIDs, even as he was hospitalized during the last
days of his life.
Morrison
died Sunday night at a Nebraska hospital. He was 44.
His
longtime promoter and close friend, Tony Holden, confirmed that "the Duke" had died, but his family would not disclose the cause of
death. Morrison and his wife, Trisha, continued to deny that the
former champion ever had HIV during the final years of his life. See more..
