“Iron Mike” recalled the fight with Holyfield
Legendary boxer Mike Tyson has revealed why he bit off Evander Holyfield's ear in a legendary fight.
“I was very disappointed, discouraged and everything. And he was headbutting me and I was very angry, I didn't know what to do. I got carried away and bit his ear,” Tyson said.
In 1997, Mike bit off a piece of Holyfield's ear and the fight ended with Evander winning after Tyson was disqualified.
Earlier, legendary heavyweight Mike Tyson recalled the confrontation with Pinklon Thomas. In 1987, Tyson knocked out Thomas in the sixth round and defended the WBA and WBC titles.
