Mike Tyson Bites Ear
Important people involved
Evander Holyfield’s and Mike Tyson
Date of event June 28th 1997
Taken place in a Boxing Match
What had happen was that

Holyfield came into the widely anticipated rematch even stronger than he had been for the first fight. In the first round, he hit Tyson hard with body shots while Tyson flailed away, ignoring the science of boxing his trainer had promised he would employ. By the end of the round, the crowd chanted Holyfield’s name, turning on the usual fan favorite Tyson. In the second round, Holyfield head-butted Tyson, opening a cut over Tyson’s right eye.

In the third round, Tyson lost what composure he had left. He spit out his mouthpiece, bit off a chunk out of Holyfield’s right ear and then spit it onto the canvas. Though Holyfield was in obvious pain the fight resumed after a brief stoppage, and then Tyson bit Holyfield’s other ear. With 10 seconds left in the third round, he was disqualified.

THE OUTCOME was that there was an injured player, and Tyson was disqualified
