The 6-6, 280-pound Irishman stopped Tyson in the sixth-round of their June 11, 2005 fight in Washington D.C. McBride fought three times after that, his last October 6, 2007 against Andrew Golota, and he\u2019s been inactive ever since.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything in training camp has been as good as we had hoped,\u201d McBride reported his training camp in New York City. \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to fighting again. It\u2019s a good start. I want to win and then get right back in the ring again. If I can put a few good wins together, I hope to be able to have an opportunity to fulfill my dream of becoming the first Irish-born heavyweight champion of the world. I\u2019d like to fight again in Ireland, too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst, though, I have to take care of business Saturday night. I do want to send my condolences to Eddie and Tony McLoughlin (McBride\u2019s new advisors). Their brother, Jimmy, recently passed away. He was going to go to my fight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Page (20-29-2), who has replaced Robert Hawkins, is a veteran sporting wins against former world champion Lou Del Valle, as well as Cisse Salif and Jeremy Bates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe change of opponent doesn\u2019t bother me at all,\u201d McBride said. \u201cIt\u2019s really all about how I perform Saturday night. I\u2019m not concerned about going eight rounds, if needed. The more rounds, the better, for me to get some of the rust off. It\u2019s just going to be nice fighting again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McBride-Page will air on Internet PPV live via NESportsTV.com.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/?page_id=1371\">Advertise Now On RSR<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.authorhouse.com\/BookStore\/ItemDetail.aspx?bookid=13198\">Purchase Boxing Interviews Of A Lifetime<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Full Court Press Release Mike Tyson-conqueror Kevin \u201cThe Clones Colossus\u201d McBride, former Irish heavyweight champion and 1992 Olympian, returns to the ring Saturday night (July 10) for the first time in more than 2 \u00bd years against veteran Zack Page in an 8-round bout at Mid-Hudson Civic Center in Poughkeepsie, New York.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[319,1025,503,954,1289],"class_list":["post-3643","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-boxing-news","tag-heavyweight","tag-kevin-mcbride","tag-mike-tyson","tag-return","tag-zack-page"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3643","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3643"}],"version-history":[{"count":-3,"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3643\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3643"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3643"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3643"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
