Former NFL star Frank Gore celebrated his 39th birthday in style Saturday night with an impressive win in his professional boxing debut.
Gore scored a fourth-round knockout victory over Yaya Olorunsola in the co-main event of Gamebred Boxing 1 in Biloxi, Mississippi. The five-time Pro Bowler shared a video of the KO and his post-fight celebration on Twitter.
“Today was a great day!!! Want to thank my team for all the hard work,” Gore wrote in the caption along with a praying emoji.

Gore officially announced his retirement from the NFL in April after signing a one-day contract with the 49ers where he spent the first 10 seasons of his career. The announcement came four months after his split-decision loss to ex-NBA star Deron Williams in a high-profile exhibition in Tampa.
Gore, a third-round pick out of Miami in 2005, finished his football career with 16,000 rushing yards, the third-highest total in NFL history behind Emmitt Smith and Walter Payton. The 2010s All-Decade Team selection also compiled 81 rushing touchdowns and earned a second-team Pro Bowl nod in ’06.
