Moments before Mike Tyson bit off a chunk of Evander Holyfield 's ear in their rematch, 'The Real Deal' admitted he was considering biting his rival in the face.
Holyfield first stopped Tyson in 1996 to win the WBA heavyweight title, but their rivalry was far from over as they met in a rematch just eight months later. Now referred to as 'The Bite Fight', it will forever be ingrained in history after Tyson was disqualified for biting Holyfield's ear in the third round.
Before the disqualification, Tyson was complaining about illegal headbutts from Holyfield that opened up a cut above his eye. He came out of his corner without his mouthpiece in the third round, before being forced to put it back in.
