The original opponent, Mike Williams, hadn't shown up for the weigh in the day before and they knew he wasn't going to fight. Tomashek didn't really come out of the audience, he had already been on standby if Williams dropped out. They just orchestrated this WWF 'plucked out the crowd' scene to try distract from the shitty match.
Horrifyingly, allegedly put together worse WBO title fights than Morrison vs Tomashek. Anyone for Herbie Hide vs Damon Reed?

Johnny Greaves boxed Sam Standing at York Hall after Standings opp was way overweight, Johnny was there to do Jody Meikle's corner so they asked him to fight and he said "I'll just have to nip home & grab me kit, back soon"!! Took the Ryan Walsh fight at 3 hours notice too after a late pullout by Walsh's opp!
