George Foreman vs. Tommy Morrison
George Foreman vs. Tommy Morrison, billed as the "Star-Spangled Battle", was a professional boxing match contested on June 7, 1993 for the vacant WBO Heavyweight Championship.
==Background==
After WBO Heavyweight champion Michael Moorer opted to vacate the title in February of 1993, the WBO sanctioned a match between popular 44-year-old ex-WBC and WBA heavyweight champion George Foreman and the then-up-and-coming 24-year-old prospect Tommy Morrison to determine who would be the next WBO Heavyweight champion.〔(June Bout for Foreman ), N.Y. Times article, 1993-02-26, Retrieved on 2013-10-07〕 Both fighters were looking to claim the title after recently losing their previous heavyweight title fight. Foreman had come up short to Evander Holyfield in a bid to become the oldest Undisputed Heavyweight champion two years prior, while Morrison had unsuccessfully challenged fellow undefeated contender Ray Mercer for the WBO title, in what was his first (and at the time of his fight with Foreman, only) professional loss in 1991. Prior to the fight, Foreman announced that his fight with Morrison would "probably (be) the last fight I'll ever have" while adding that he wanted to go out "right" by getting a "title belt around my waist".〔(Foreman to Retire After June 7 Match ), N.Y. Times article, 1993-04-08, Retrieved on 2013-10-07〕
