Kevin Martin McBride (born May 5, 1973 in Clones, County Monaghan) is an Irish boxer, [http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=007386 McBride's Boxing Record] boxrec.com - Retrieved: 14 July 2007 ] who competed for his native country at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain.

The 6'8" McBride debuted in December 1992, with a victory against Gary Charlton. In 1997, he defeated Paul Douglas to win the All-Ireland Heavyweight Title, and in 2002 he defeated Craig Tomlinson to add the IBC Americas Heavyweight Title. McBride currently resides in the heavily Irish neighborhood of Dorchester in Boston and trains in near-by Brockton, Massachusetts.

McBride's greatest success to date came with a victory over a past-his-prime, 38-year old Mike Tyson, who was once world heavyweight champion, via a 7th-round TKO on June 11, 2005 in the MCI Center in Washington, D.C. [http://www.britishboxing.net/boxers_14102-Kevin-McBride.html McBride's career] britishboxing.net - Retrieved: 14 July 2007 ] Tyson announced his retirement after this bout, and hasn't fought since.

McBride has suffered six losses by knockout — including twice against fighters with losing records. Since the Tyson fight, he has beaten the low-ranked Byron Polley and suffered an upset against Mike Mollo in a second round knockout. McBride then fought Andrew Golota on October 6, 2007 and lost in the sixth round placing his career in doubt.

McBride's nickname, "The Clones Colossus", recalls Barry McGuigan's sobriquet "The Clones Cyclone".
