Mike Tyson's first genuine apology to Holyfield for biting his ear made for wholesome viewing

Mike Tyson is undoubtedly one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time, becoming the first heavyweight to hold all three major belts at one time with the WBA, WBC and IBF titles.

However, despite being incredibly successful, Iron Mike’s reputation will always be marred by his disqualification against Evander Holyfield in their second fight.

First time around, Holyfield stopped Tyson after 11 rounds, but it was the referee who made the stoppage in the second fight as Tyson bit his opponent and was rightly disqualified.

At the time, he did issue an apology to Holyfield, however, it wasn’t incredibly sincere and something he confirmed himself at a later date.
