Who is Mike Tyson?

     Mike Tyson was born in New York on June 30, 1966 and is an American boxer (boxer). He is considered by many to be one of the greatest boxers of all time.

     Tyson vs Holyfield: In 1996, he returned to fighting and winning, which led him to challenge Holyfield again. On November 9 of that year, the match took place and Holyfield won, but Tyson immediately demanded rematch. The two boxers met again on June 28, 1997 for what came to be called the fight of the century. But, 40 seconds from the end of the third round, the unexpected happened: Tyson bit Holyfield's ear, which led to the interruption of the fight.

     When the duel was resumed, Tyson again bit his opponent's ear and was eventually disqualified, he stated that he only did that in response to repeated headbutts he had been receiving from Holyfield (in the first confrontation between the two Mike had also complained about Holyfield's headbutts ), generating a fight in the ring between the two boxers' support teams. Tyson lost the match and was banned for a year from the competition. After completing the punishment, the New York boxer returned to fight and win.
