WASHINGTON (Ticker) - Kevin McBride intends to become boxing's latest "Cinderella Man" by beating former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson on Saturday.
The Irishman will take heart from the movie about James J. Braddock which opened in theaters across the United States last week. It tells the story of how Braddock, the son of Irish immigrants, rose above journeyman status to beat Max Baer and become heavyweight champion.
The 6-foot-6 McBride, who has been dubbed as the "Clones Colossus," believes he will go on to emulate Braddock at the MCI Center on Saturday.
