In 2005, mike Tyson, who was 38 years old, announced his comeback, and after losing to Williams in the last game, he had been thinking about whether to continue playing, and finally he chose to return to boxing, not only financially, he also wanted to end his career with a victory.
Scheduled for June 11 in Washington, D.C., the match was played against the little-known Irish professional boxer Kevin McBride, who considered it an easy one, even though the former boxer was years past his peak.
McBride entered professional boxing in December 1992 after most of his previous tournaments were held in Ireland, winning the IBC Heavyweight Title, his crowning achievement. Of course, at this time, Tyson also chose him precisely because of the mediocre results of his opponents, and he thought it was a safe game before the game.
However, McBride remained convinced he could disappoint Tyson and promised to "shock the world" by beating Tyson in the game, replacing the head coach before the game and parting ways with coach Freddy Roach. Roach trained Tyson in 2003 and directed him in two games against black rhinos Edianne and Daniel Williams.
McBride used his height advantage in the game to engage in a tangled battle with Tyson in an attempt to exhaust Tyson. Although he did not take advantage of this process, he did play a role in consuming Tyson, and by the fifth round, Tyson's physical strength had dropped significantly, and he looked very tired.
In the sixth round, Tyson was pushed by McBride during the battle between the two sides, at this time Tyson was too sluggish to even stand up on his own, he reached out to try to get the referee to help, he was exhausted.
Despite being in the lead in points in the first six rounds, Tyson gave up the game before the start of the seventh leg so that McBride won the game by technically knocking down TKO, saying in a post-match interview: "This will be my last game, I'm really sorry, I've tried my best, I don't yearn for the crown anymore, and I also want McBride's career to be smooth.
Although Tyson was just a shell at this time, he made McBride famous by defeating Tyson, and after that he did not have the smooth sailing as Tyson had hoped, in 2006 he faced the American boxer Molo, only to be ruthlessly KO after only two legs in the game. After that, a match agreement was reached with Polish star Golotta, and the two sides competed in Madison Square Garden.
In the sixth leg of the match, Golotta punched KO McBride, a battle that also gave Golotta, who had lost several consecutive games, to find confidence, after which McBride returned in 2010 after a three-legged break, but in an eight-legged qualifying match he lost points to defeat his opponent.
Apparently, the comeback wasn't about winning any honors, it was about making money from the game, so success didn't matter, and on April 9, 2011, McBride competed with former light heavyweight world champion Thomas Adamek for the IBF International Heavyweight title at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
His performance in this match was very surprising, perhaps because Adamek was lightly opposed, McBride actually played 12 rounds without being KO, and in July of the same year he played another Polish boxer, Woche, and finally was KO in the fourth round, after which he announced his complete withdrawal from boxing.
Overall, McBride's true level is in the third-rate skew, after playing with Tyson he played a total of eight games and lost six, only won two games, although the strength is not good but good luck, can be selected by Tyson, through the fame of Tyson Terminator in later games to play a big increase, but also made a profit.
