During the fight, a moment of Mike biting his gloves was broadcast. Former British boxer Carl Froch explained why Tyson did this.
“Sometimes if the gloves are uncomfortable, I’ve had to bite my thumb, I’ve tried to twist my gloved hand out because you can’t hold the glove, so you have to hold it with your teeth. Why did Tyson do this in the fight with Paul? Honestly, only he knows. But he was chewing on the end of the glove, wasn’t he? I think he used her as a deterrent,” Froch said.
In 1997, Mike bit off a piece of Holyfield’s ear and the fight ended with Evander winning after Tyson was disqualified.
