Evander “Real Deal” Holyfield vs Mike “Iron” Tyson II, was a professional boxing match contested on June 28, 1997 for the W.B.A. Heavyweight Championship. The much-anticipated fight was a rematch of the first encounter on November 9, 1996 in which Holyfield won by TKO in the eleventh round. Both fights were held at the M.G.M. Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada before celebrities and distinguished personalities, alike. I learned after watching

the match highlights that Tyson had bit off a part of Holyfield’s ear with forty seconds remaining in the third round. Subsequently, it dawned upon me that Holyfield had headbutted Mike earlier in the second round, causing a large cut over Tyson’s right eye.

Results

#1. Which boxer registered an upset tenth round K.O. victory over the then undefeated "Iron" Mike Tyson on February 11, 1990 at the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan to win the undisputed heavyweight title?

George Foreman

Larry Holmes

Henry Tillman

Buster Douglas

Sugar Ray Leonard

Frank Bruno

Finish

Incidentally, Tyson had repeatedly complained about head-butting in the first bout between the two fighters. Tyson was disqualified from the match and lost his boxing license: it was later reinstated.

Ironically, the two had become good friends after the match and settled their differences. Nonetheless, the Tyson vs. Holyfield II boxing match ear-biting incident goes down in sports folklore as one of the strangest moments in professional boxing history.
