MIKE TYSON AND EVANDER HOLYFIELD
When Evander Holyfield faced “Iron” Mike Tyson in a heavyweight fight on June 28, 1977, he knew he needed to use his height and reach to counter his opponent’s strength. Tyson possessed incredible strength and was the world’s scariest knockout fighter, attacking his opponents relentlessly from start to finish.
Tyson was quickly frustrated by Evander Holyfield’s fighting style, as it had been during their first fight. Fans wouldn’t get to see the end of the fight in this rematch because Tyson was disqualified in the third round for biting Holyfield’s ear twice; it was a moment Tyson would never forget.
