Mike Tyson vs. Kevin McBride

Mike Tyson vs. Kevin McBride was a professional boxing match contested on June 11, 2005.

In April 2005, Tyson officially announced his return to boxing to take on little-known Irish journeyman Kevin McBride on June 11 in Washington, D.C.[2] Though the 38–year old Tyson was far removed from his prime, he nevertheless predicted an easy victory, vowing to "gut (McBride) like a fish" while also calling his opponent a "tomato can".

As the round came to a close, a shove by McBride caused Tyson to fall to the canvas, but it was ruled a slip rather than a knockdown.

Tyson would have won the round, but the two-point deduction gave McBride a 9–8 win on the scorecards.
