James McKenzie Morrison has emerged as one of the most promising names in professional boxing. Born in the United States, Morrison has been making an impact in the sport since his debut on October 11, 2014. His impressive record of 20 wins, 2 draws, and zero losses, with 18 of those victories coming by knockout, showcases his remarkable talent, power, and dedication to the sport.
Morrison made a statement in his first professional fight, securing a first-round TKO victory over Marvin Babe in 2014. He then built momentum with four consecutive wins, three of which ended in stoppages. Over the years, he has secured notable victories against Aaron Chavers, Skylar Thompson, Keenan Hickmon, Galen Brown, Sam Shewmaker, and Roberto White. One of his most high-profile wins came in a non-title bout against Hasim Rahman Jr., which ended in a fifth-round TKO victory for Morrison.
Despite his impressive record, Morrison has yet to claim a championship title. However, his undefeated streak and powerful knockout ability indicate that he has the potential to reach the pinnacle of the sport. While he has faced two draws in his career, they have only served to highlight his resilience and ability to go the distance against tough opponents.
Morrison’s fighting style is aggressive and relentless, often overwhelming his opponents with his power and pace. His ability to secure knockout victories—18 in 20 wins—demonstrates his finishing ability and makes him one of the most exciting prospects in boxing. As his career progresses, it will be fascinating to see how he handles bigger challenges and whether he can capture a world title.
Beyond boxing, Morrison is now set to test his skills in the Bare-Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), following in the footsteps of his legendary father, Tommy Morrison, who famously defeated George Foreman to win the WBO heavyweight title in 1993. BKFC President Dave Feldman has welcomed Morrison into the promotion, emphasizing his potential as a top heavyweight contender.
“It might be a good time for Ben Rothwell to start looking over his ‘Big’ shoulders; as a new contender is preparing to challenge for his BKFC heavyweight throne.”
Morrison joins BKFC with a 22-1-2 professional boxing record, including 20 knockout victories. His transition to bare-knuckle fighting adds intrigue to the BKFC heavyweight division, where reigning champion Ben Rothwell currently holds the title. Though Morrison may need a few fights before earning a title shot, his devastating power suggests it won’t take long for him to become a serious contender.
With a combination of boxing experience, knockout power, and a warrior’s mindset, Morrison’s future in combat sports looks incredibly promising. Whether he dominates BKFC or returns to pursue boxing titles, he remains a name to watch in the heavyweight landscape.
