Mike Tyson Bites Ear Off
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuA4fLnG0Ig&feature=related
This event was in June, 1997.
Mike Tyson‘s boxing license is suspended for at least a year and he is fined $3 million for biting Evander Holyfield‘s ear in a televised match.
In the interview with Oprah, Tyson said “‘I know I can’t beat you and you don’t have to knock me out this time to beat me.” When he told Oprah he bit Holyfield because he was pissed off because he was such a great fighter, he couldn’t have been more honest
Tyson was an all time great boxer. I was shocked by his behavior. What a shame!
