Tyson vs. Holyfield: The Night That Changed Boxing Forever
On June 28, 1997, Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield met in the ring for a heavyweight title fight that would forever change the face of boxing. The fight was brutal and bloody, and it ended in a stunning upset when Tyson was disqualified for biting Holyfield's ear.
The fight was billed as "The Sound and the Fury," and it lived up to its name. Tyson came out swinging from the opening bell, and he quickly knocked Holyfield down with a right hook. Holyfield got up and fought back, but Tyson continued to press the attack. In the third round, Tyson knocked Holyfield down again, and this time Holyfield was unable to get up.

The referee stopped the fight, and Tyson was declared the winner by knockout. However, the victory was short-lived. Just moments after the fight was stopped, Tyson bit Holyfield's ear. The bite was so severe that it tore off a chunk of Holyfield's ear.
The bite shocked the boxing world and the general public alike. Tyson was immediately disqualified, and he was fined $3 million. He was also suspended from boxing for two years.
The Tyson-Holyfield fight was a watershed moment in boxing history. It marked the end of Tyson's reign as the undisputed heavyweight champion, and it ushered in a new era of boxing.
In the years since the fight, Tyson has apologized for his actions. He has said that he was in a "dark place" at the time of the fight, and that he is ashamed of what he did.
Holyfield has forgiven Tyson, and the two men have even become friends. They have both said that they are glad that they were able to put the past behind them.
The Tyson-Holyfield fight is still remembered as one of the most controversial and memorable fights in boxing history. It is a fight that changed boxing forever.
