“You didn’t know what Mike Tyson did right there? He got a little piece of it,” Evander Holyfield told Hightower. The chiropractor then adjusted his ear along with several other body parts.

The ‘Bite Fight’ was the most talked-about event of the 80s when Mike Tyson was disqualified for his actions inside the ring. However, it had several other elements to it.

Coming off a shocking knockout loss to Holyfield in November 1996, Tyson bagged the rematch in June 1997. However, Tyson did not have much to offer as ‘The Real Deal’ dominated the fight from the early rounds.

Things turned hideous when Tyson got a hold of Holyfield and bit his ear twice in the match. While he was warned after the first bite, he still attacked with another one. As a result, Holyfield was awarded the victory.

Tyson has announced his comeback against four-division champion Roy Jones Jr. in an eight-round exhibition battle on November 28.

Meanwhile, Holyfield is also looking for a way to get back inside the ring. Hence, we can expect a trilogy bout between them.
