Evander Holyfield reveals he wanted to bite Mike Tyson back on his Cheek for revenge in infamous 1997 fight (Video)

Former world heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield admits he was desperate to get instant revenge on Mike Tyson when he was bitten by his fierce rival during their infamous fight in 1997.

According to the former heavyweight champion, he decided against biting Iron Mike because he feared the sport of Boxing would never recover.

Holyfield had upset the odds to knock out Iron Mike in eight months earlier in Las Vegas to win the WBA heavyweight belt but their rematch is infamously known as the 'Bite Fight' after Tyson was disqualified for twice biting the champion's ear in the third round.
