XTRA: Trisha Harding Morrison, Widow of Boxer Tommy Morrison, on ‘The Ringside Boxing Show’

February 12th, 2015

“If you’re among those legions of boxing fans who think Tommy Morrison died of AIDS, Sunday’s riveting interview on the Ringside Boxing Show might abruptly change your opinion,” writes Dennis Taylor, editor/publisher of the show. He broadcast an excellent interview with Trisha Harding Morrison, widow of heavyweight boxing champion Tommy “The Duke” Morrison, on Sunday, February 8, 2015.

You can link to the archived show here. The interview starts at 25:36 and lasts for about half an hour. “How Positive Are You” listeners may recall our two-part “Requiem for a Heavyweight” series with Trisha, available in Parts 1 and 2. We had previously interviewed Tommy himself for Episode 16 in February 2010.

“How Positive Are You” co-host Elizabeth Ely goes 10 rounds (about two hours) with Trisha Harding Morrison on her husband’s recent death at age 44. Morrison was a two-time former heavyweight boxing champion who not only had made history in the ring with his dangerous left hook, but also starred as “Tommy Gunn” in the 1990 movie Rocky V. In this Part 1 of “Requiem for a Heavyweight,” Trisha tells, for the first time, the complete story of her husband’s journey to hell and back — and to hell again — as he fought both the boxing and the AIDS establishments. Shortly before this Podcast was taped, Trisha received news of the electron microscopy results on blood taken from her husband moments before he died: “The Duke” was carrying no “particles resembling HIV.”
