Boxer Tommy Morrison, who died of cardiac failure at age 44, was banned from boxing professionally by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) after he tested positive for HIV in 1996. But according to legal documents obtained by Law Newz, Morrison first became aware of his diagnosis in 1989, and was somehow able to continue boxing while HIV positive for seven years.
