20 years ago today, The Bite Fight

Post by Claude »

Evander Holyfield vs. Mike Tyson II, billed as "The Sound and the Fury" and afterwards infamously referred to as "The Bite Fight", was a professional boxing match contested on June 28, 1997 for the WBA Heavyweight Championship.

Tyson bit off part of Holyfield's ear. I remember it because I was online to a friend in the US via Mirabilis' Instant Message program called ICQ, developed in Israel in 1996.
Cheers, Claude.

Do you remember the ear biting because you were on ICQ or do you remember ICQ because of the ear biting?

It was the last time I saw a boxing match. Throwing up afterwards didn't help either.
