If there is one boxer who has used more than his fists in his quest for victory, it is the ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’ Mike Tyson. His iconic ‘bite fight’ against Evander Holyfield gained infamy for the brutal incident and the drama revolving around it. Over 25 years later, a bout saw the recreation of that notorious moment as a fighter channeled his inner Tyson and bit off his opponent’s ear.

Bachir ‘Bash’ Fakhouri faced Alex Etherington at King of the Streets (KOTS)- an underground fight club that hosts unsanctioned brawls at secret locations. During the fight, Etherington, who claimed the win, lost a major chunk of his ear.

Per the tweet, it may have occurred as ‘Bash’ bit off a part of Alex Etherington’s ear. And, in an intriguing turn of events, ‘Bash’ was seen playing with the piece of his opponent’s ear. KOTS tweeted, “Sacrificed his ear for the victory.”

This scene was reminiscent of Mike Tyson’s rematch against Evander Holyfield at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. The third round saw the duo entwined in a clinch. This was when Tyson bit Holyfield’s ear, and then proceeded to spit the bitten piece on the canvas.
