Professional career
McBride made her debut in December 1992, losing to Gary Charlton despite a draw. In 1997, he defeated Paul Douglas to win the All-Ireland Heavyweight Championship, and in 2002, he defeated Craig Tomlinson to win the IBC Americas Heavyweight Championship. McBride currently lives in Dorchester, Massachusetts, where trains connect to Brockton, Massachusetts.
McBride's career-defining result was a win over Mike Tyson, the former world heavyweight champion, who pulled Tyson out of the competition at the end of Round 6, telling the referee that he would not be allowed to proceed to round seven in the MCI Center in Washington, D.C. In a post-fight interview, Tyson said that his heart wasn't into the sport any more. Tyson resigned after the match, saying, "I'm not going to disrespect the game any more by losing to a calibre of fighters."
McBride has suffered six losses by knockout, two of which were against fighters with losing records. McBride defeated Byron Polley first and then suffered three unexpected losses since his match with Mike Tyson. Mike Mollo was the first to lose in the second round, a second-round knockout loss. After Golota's intelligently executed a cut over McBride's eye, his second loss was against Andrew Golota in the sixth round, a sixth-round technical knockout loss. McBride, the 'Clones Colossus,' made a comeback in an eight-rounder in Poughkeepsie, New York, on July 10, but lost every round —and the match — in an upset to cruiserweight veteran Zack Page, who had a losing record as a professional. Despite being 6 feet 6 inches and weighing 282 pounds to Page's 6 ft 0 in and 205 pounds, McBride was outworked and defeated by his younger, faster, more ferocious rival.
At the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, McBride defeated former cruiserweight and light heavyweight world champion Tomasz Adamek for the IBF World Heavyweight and NABO Heavyweight Championship belts on September 9, 2011. Adamek was awarded a unanimous decision in the 12-rounds.
McBride retired from football after losing to Mariusz Wach on July 29th, 2011 during a boxing gala held at Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut.
"The Clones Colossus," McBride's nickname honors Barry McGuigan's "The Clones Cyclone."
