'Iron Mike' called time on his legendary career after the fight.McBride, who had just turned 32 at the time of his career-changing victory, wasn't able to build on the win and subsequently lost six of his next eight fights.His final fight in 2011 saw him knocked out in the fourth round by Mariusz Wach, and he ended with a professional record of 35-10-1.
