No one gonna say it?
Kenzie Morrison, the son of former heavyweight boxing champion Tommy Morrison, has signed a multi-fight deal to join BKFC and cross over into bare-knuckle fighting.
The 34-year-old heavyweight joins the BKFC ranks with a 22-1-2 record including 20 knockouts including a past win over Hasim Rahman Jr. and BKFC veteran Sam Shewmaker.
“I’ve had great conversations with [BKFC president] David Feldman the last few months and am very excited to join BKFC,” Morrison said in a press release. “The athletes competing in their organization are some of the most talented in combat sports and I can’t wait to compete.”
Morrison carried on his family’s legacy after his father Tommy shot to stardom in the early 1990s while competing in the heavyweight division. During his career, Tommy Morrison fought the likes of Ray Mercer, George Foreman, Donovan “Razor” Ruddock and Lennox Lewis.
Of course, he was also well known for his role playing Tommy “The Machine” Gunn in the 1990 film Rocky V where he starred opposite Sylvester Stallone. He passed away in 2013 after suffering cardiac arrest.
Kenzie actually got a late start in his own boxing career after picking up the sport when he was already 22 years old but he’s built a successful career since turning pro.
While Morrison has signed a multi-fight deal with BKFC, his debut date hasn’t been determined yet but he’s expected to join the heavyweight division where UFC veteran Ben Rothwell currently rules as champion.

Is he hungry?
Thought it was Tommy’s daughter based on the name until I read the article.
Lindsey Logan’s Daddy was arrested a couple weeks ago for beating his wife. Then you got McGregor the Rapist, and now the son of the boxer who was most famous for allegedly being infected with Aids. Add in the occasional Tik-Toker/OnlyFans personality, how exactly is this promotion supposed to grow? It’s like the American version of FightCircus at this point
