Iron Mike caused a major scandal when he chomped a chunk of Holyfield’s lobe clean off during their bout in 1997. Tyson admitted: “People just want to take pictures of me biting their ears. These crazy people black, white people and celebrities want me to bite their ears. It is too much.
In order to love yourself you have to love someone else. Tyson’s attack on Holyfield was referred to as The Bite Fight on June 28, 1997. Furious Tyson bit off a part of Holyfield’s ear as he became frustrated at his opponent headbutting him. The fight was announced in March, when Paul said: “My sights are set on becoming a world champion, and now I have a chance to prove myself against the greatest heavyweight champion of the world, the baddest man on the planet and the most dangerous boxer of all time.
Time to put Iron Mike to sleep.”
