Floyd Mayweather made it 49 straight wins with a wide points victory over Andre Berto in Las Vegas.
The Champ dropped to his knees as the final bell sounded after his whitewashing of Andre Berto on Saturday and looked skyward.
For the final 30 seconds, the crowd of 13,395 at the MGM Grand Garden stood, their camera phones in their hands, documenting the end of the unbeaten star’s legendary career.
Mayweather, 38, was awarded the verdict 120-108, 118-110 and 117-111.
Mayweather was adamant it was his last fight, but having equalled Rocky Marciano's career record of 49-0, he might decide to have one more.
"My career is over, that's official," said five-weight world champion Mayweather, widely regarded as the greatest fighter of his generation.
"You've got to know when to hang them 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.
"I am leaving the sport with all my faculties, I'm still sharp and smart. I've accomplished everything in this sport, there's nothing else to accomplish."
