“With my style, training is very rigorous. You're toe-to-toe, getting beat on six days a week for five or six weeks leading to a fight. There's no fun, no glamour.”

American professional boxer and mixed martial artist

Tommy Morrison was an American professional boxer and mixed martial artist who competed from 1988 to 2009. He is remembered for his powerful punching and left hook, and for winning the World Boxing Organization heavyweight title in 1993. Morrison took the vacant WBO heavyweight belt with a unanimous decision over George Foreman, then lost it in his second defense to Michael Bentt later that year. His career also included a knockout loss to Ray Mercer in 1991 after a prolonged barrage, and a 1995 TKO win over Donovan Ruddock for the minor International Boxing Council heavyweight title.
