Morrison paid a heavy
price when he defended
against Michael Bentt
last October and was
floored three times in
the first round, blowing
a huge payday with WBC
champion Lennox
Lewis.

Tucuman, Aiigentlna on
August 13.

champion who lost his
title to Jackson, is
apparently injured and
Jackson believes he
will fight Castro for the
title with the winner to
foce Johnson.
