With an orthodox stance, he made his mark in the heavyweight division, leaving a lasting impression on the sport.

Throughout his career, Morrison faced many challenges and adversaries, but his sheer determination and passion for boxing propelled him forward. With a weight of 102.51kg, he possessed both the size and strength necessary to compete at the highest level of the heavyweight class.

His nickname "The Duke" added an aura of mystique to his persona, evoking imagery of a true warrior stepping into the ring, ready to conquer any opponent that stood in his way.

Despite his talent and potential, Morrison had to navigate through the tumultuous landscape of the sport, facing both triumphs and tribulations. He shared the same dreams and aspirations as many other fighters, aiming to reach the pinnacle of his profession and leave behind a lasting legacy.

One of the defining moments in Morrison's career came in 1993 when he faced off against George Foreman, a legendary figure in the boxing world. It was a battle that showcased the clash of generations, with Foreman representing the old guard and Morrison representing the new blood.

Despite his accomplishments in the ring, Morrison's career was not without controversy. In 1996, he tested positive for HIV, a devastating blow that forced him into retirement. This revelation had a profound impact on his personal and professional life, altering the course of his boxing journey forever.

After his retirement, Morrison found solace in various pursuits.
