Duggan tackled an intruder in his South Carolina home in December last year. It was his first public appearance since then. No doubt the fans were very happy seeing the legend overcome all his issues and accompany Morrison to his debut in the boxing ring.

He has found himself in a tough health predicament in recent times. Duggan announced in October 2021 that he was suffering from prostate cancer. The 69-year-old completed his 39 sessions of radiation treatment in 2022 and triumphed over the dangerous illness.

He has had health issues in the past as well. In 2018, he was hospitalized as he was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation.

Prior to impressing one and all with his glove work, Morrison revealed that a former WWE superstar could have been his opponent and not Morenstein.

A former WWE superstar was the first choice as Morrison’s first boxing opponent

He made a revelation that Matt Cardona was the first choice of organizers for his opponent. Speaking to TMZ Sports’ Mojo Muhatadi, he said, “Let me tell you something about Matt Cardona. So, they asked me if I’d be willing to fight Harley {Morenstein} or Matt Cardona, and I asked him if he wanted to fight and he goes, ‘Bro, I’m not gonna fight anyone. I’m definitely not gonna fight you.” 

“Bro, no. Are you crazy? No, I’m not gonna fight.’ But, literally, he was like my first phone call. They wanted me to fight broski.” added the six-time WWE tag team champion.

Seeing John Morrison in any other ring than the squared circle was a treat to fans’ eyes. And getting to watch the legend “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan while at it was even great for them. Especially after the health struggles that Duggan has overcome over the years, his appearance was nothing short of a miracle. And the spectators surely treated it as one.
