Floyd Mayweather declared his boxing career is over after strolling to a unanimous decision victory over Andre Berto to make it 49 unbeaten.
The Money Man equalled Rocky Marciano's record in the familiar surroundings of the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, but insisted after he won't be attempting to break new ground with a 50th bout.
Berto struggled to land a meaningful punch as Mayweather danced his way to victory, interacting with the crowd mid-round and showboating towards the end.
The fight was everything boxing fans feared beforehand as Berto failed to impress the judges and a packed-out audience.
"You've got to know when to hang it up. I'm close to 40 now. There's nothing left to prove in the sport of boxing. Now I just want to spend time with my family."
The MGM Grand wasn't buzzing and brimming like it was on May 2nd this year when Mayweather defeated Manny Pacquiao, but the fighter could still rely on Justin Bieber to accompany him to the ring.
