HOUSTON (AP) - Texas state officials issued a boxing license to former heavyweight champion Tommy Morrison, clearing the way for him to fight in Houston on Friday night.
Morrison, the 38-year-old former WBO champion, is scheduled to face Dale Ortiz in a four-round bout at the Grand Plaza Hotel in Houston. It will be Morrison's second fight since launching his comeback earlier this year after an 11-year retirement following the discovery that he was HIV positive.
State officials had sought more medical information from Morrison earlier this week before issuing his license.
