While the fight was epic in its own right, the moment that shook everyone was Eubank Jr’s biting his opponent. This incident reminded everyone of the time the legendary Mike Tyson had done the same.

Speaking about the incident, Eubank Jr. said, “The amount of headlocks and headbutts… He put his arm around my neck and his glove was close to my mouth, so I gave it a bite as hard as I could. If he’s gonna fight dirty, I’m gonna fight dirty.”
