So, to fight him was a surreal moment.””When he gets hit by Tyson on the chin, he’s going to think the whole of America has hit him.”19 years ago, many expected journeyman McBride to be quickly dispatched.Most read in BoxingThe former Olympian had already lost four times before he took on Tyson.It was a fight that, despite its dangers, McBride couldn’t turn down.”Getting in the ring with Mike Tyson was like a dream come true for me,” he said.Mike Tyson tells Jake Paul ‘I’ll feed it to my falcon’ after being presented with bizarre gift in pre-fight face-off “When I was a kid growing up I idolised Tyson. So, to fight him was a surreal moment. It was a Cinderella story – like James J. Braddock – to fight Mike Tyson.”I boxed in the Olympics for Ireland in 1992. I didn’t win, but I was in the biggest Games in the world.”I turned professional after the Olympics and I said to my father, ‘I’d love to fight Mike Tyson one day.’ He said, ‘You never know, it might happen.'”My father passed away before it happened, but years later he was right and I’m in the ring with the most feared man in the world.”Dreams happen and that was my fairytale. It’s a great claim to fame to say I’ve beaten the most feared man in the world.”Once he’s in the ring, he’s an animal. He wants you out of there, no matter what.”I just wanted to feel Mike Tyson’s power. That was 19 years ago, and I still feel his power today.”He’d hit you on one side of the body and you would feel something move on the other side.”Their fight would have happened sooner, but for Frank Maloney’s intervention that McBride might have been “killed” in the ring.”I was just a journeyman and I just loved boxing,” McBride continued.”I was offered to fight Tyson a few times before.

You have no fear when you’re a fighter, it’s in your blood.”McBride recalled what it was like to share the ring with “Animal” Tyson who would revert to dirty tactics during the fight.He said: “Once he’s in the ring, he’s an animal. He wants you out of there, no matter what.”I remember he hit me so hard in the 6th round I thought there was Leprecauns playing drums in my head, and I said to him ‘Is that all you’ve got?’ I was hoping that’s all he had got!”He also tried to break my arm during the fight, and bite my nipple off.”I felt a bid sad I’d beaten him, because he was such a legend and idol for me.””I remember the excruciating pain of that as I pulled my chest away. I’m just glad he had a mouthpiece in, otherwise he would have bitten my nipple off, as well as Evan Holyfield’s ear!”In the post-fight press conference, Tyson revealed he was retiring – insisting the hunger had gone.However, McBride disputed that and insisted he beat him fair and square.”After I fought him he said the hunger had gone. But he was trying to kill me in the ring,” McBride divulged.”He was in there to do damage. I physically beat him, I caught him with some great uppercuts, and I could feel the energy sapping from him.In the press conference after the fight, Tyson revealed his hunger for boxing had goneBut McBride disputes that – saying Tyson was like an animal in the ringread more sport features”I leaned on him and he fell.

But it was my world title beating Mike Tyson.”Surprisingly, McBride had mixed emotions about beating his hero Tyson.He then got an opportunity to meet another idol.He said: “I felt a bid sad I’d beaten him, because he was such a legend and idol for me. But I was also very happy.”I remember at the press conference afterwards someone told me Muhammad Ali, who was there, was leaving and he wanted to say goodbye to me.”So I jumped up from my chair and went over to him and gave him a big hug and kiss, and I said to him ‘This is the greatest night of my life, as far as boxing is concerned, I beat a legend and met the greatest of all time.'”I swear to God, Ali threw a few punches at me and said, ‘I’m the greatest, you’re the latest!'”For his efforts, McBride was paid $150,000 dollars for the fight.Amusingly, he confessed he cashed the cheque before he stepped into the ring.Journeyman McBride was paid $150,000 for his fight against Tyson at the MCI Center in Washington DCBefore gaining fame with his shock win against Tyson, McBride fought in the OlympicsHe laughed: “I remember the day before getting a cashier’s check paid because I didn’t trust them!”I didn’t believe they were going to pay me, so I went to the bank that day to make sure the money went into my account.”So I knew I got paid before I went in the ring. But I would’ve fought Mike Tyson for nothing.”Today, McBride’s life is very different.
