Iron Mike got his chance for revenge, but in this one he was not the bigger draw, as Holyfield cashed in the biggest paycheck. So what does any adult do when he starts losing? Some would say fight harder or change strategies. Not Iron Mike. He decided to bite Holyfield’s right ear in the third round after Holyfield got Tyson in a clinch, removing one inch of cartilage from the champ’s ear. Holyfield started shrieking in pain and the referee called for a timeout not knowing what to do. The referee’s initial reaction was to disqualify the contender, but the ringside doctor cleared Holyfield for battle so the fight ensued with Tyson being deducted a mere 2 points. During another clinch in the third round, Tyson bit Holyfield’s other ear. No damage was done but when the round finished and the bite was discovered, Tyson was disqualified. A brawl ensued prompting heavy security around the referee and Holyfield. Twenty-Five minutes later, as the disruption ended, Holyfield was declared the champ. Tyson was later banned from boxing only to have his license renewed a year later. The two joke about it now and why not, it made both of them a legend and a huge fortune. Too bad neither of them have any of it left.
