Floyd Mayweather won the much-hyped light-middleweight fight with Conor McGregor - and then promptly retired again.
Mayweather finally prevailed against plucky McGregor with a 10th-round stoppage at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
And after the win took him to 50-0 in his career, Mayweather announced in the ring he would retire again.
Mayweather, who came out of retirement to take the big-money fight, said: "This was my last fight ladies and gentleman. For sure, tonight was my last fight.
"I chose the right dance partner to dance with. To the country of Ireland, we love these guys."
