On June 28, 1997, in what would become known as "the bite fight", Mike Tyson bit Evander Holyfield's ear, purportedly in retaliation for Holyfield headbutting him. Tyson lost a point, but the fight continued. When Tyson bit Holyfield's other ear and actually removed a chunk of flesh, he was disqualified! Tyson would later be fined $3 million and have his boxing license revoked. Holyfield's ear had to be surgically re-attached after the fight.
