Kevin McBride is quietly returning to action tonight for the first time since stopping Mike Tyson after six rounds last June. McBride, 33-4-1, will appear on the Lamon Brewster-Sergei Lyakhovich undercard in Cleveland tonight taking on the non-descript Byron Polley, 19-5-1, in a ten-rounder. It is hardly the type of follow-up to be expected in light of one of the biggest upsets of 2005. Also on promoter Don King's undercard are several notable Ohio boxers in tune-up bouts: ex-batnamweight champion Tim Austin returns at 124.5 pounds to face Eric Aiken 14-4; heavyweight Ray Austin is matched against Jeremy Bates, 21-10-1 and hweavyweight Larry Donald will lock horns with Stacy Frazier, 14-5. Other than the main event, none of these bouts will be televised.Â
