Mike Tyson registered his 50th and final victory inside the ring when he went on to knockout Clifford Etienne in front of a packed crowd at The Pyramid in Memphis in 2003. Though Mike Tyson was considered to have lost his ‘shine’ by that time, he stunned the boxing world by unleashing a vicious first-round knockout. The fight had just begun and Clifford Etienne began to swing at Mike Tyson. However, Mike Tyson took very little time to read Etienne's tactics.

While both of them began exchanging jabs, Mike Tyson caught Clifford Etienne with a vicious right-hand jab. Clifford hit the canvas cold and Tyson was awarded the victory with a first-round knockout. However, Mike Tyson went on to lose his next two fights before hanging up his gloves in 2005.
