The future NFL Hall of Fame inductee was able to celebrate in style, after his brutal knockout left his opponent face planting onto the canvas.
While the bout was Gore's first in a professional capacity, boxing fans may recognise him from the undercard of Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley II.
It was a battle of the sports as American football's Gore took on basketball's Deron Williams, with the ex-NBA star prevailing in a messy contest.
Enjoying a career from 2005-2022, Gore had a stint very few in his position can boast.
