On June 28, 1997, boxing champion Tyson was stripped of the world ranking for biting people during a boxing match
On this day, 28 years ago, June 28, 1997 (May 24, 1997, the 1997 lunar calendar), boxing champion Tyson was stripped of the world ranking for biting people during a boxing match. After being bitten, a shocking scene occurred in the WBA heavyweight fight held in Las Vegas on June 28, 1997. When the match reached the third round, challenger Tyson suddenly bit the defending defender Holyfield's ear hard. Tyson, who was in the year of sheep, bit Holyfield's right ear, who was in the year of rabbit. Holyfield jumped high in pain, and blood immediately gushed out from the wound. This was an astonishing scene that occurred during the second duel between Holyfield and Tyson to the third round at noon on the 28th Beijing time. This competition, which has been in the making for more than half a year, has attracted the attention of hundreds of millions of boxing fans. Before the game, both sides said they would defeat their opponents and win the game. Tyson's new coach, Giachetti, designed a faster and more ferocious play to break through Holyfield's steady and flexible defense. Holyfield claimed that I am no longer the person I was six months ago. At the beginning of the game, the two sides launched a fierce confrontation. Tyson obviously held back his anger and punched more fiercely than in the previous match. However, Holyfield still relied on the successful experience of the first game and the advantage of height and length of arms to control Tyson with jab and straight punches, preventing him from using the advantage of uppercuts in close proximity. Once Tyson fought close, Holyfield used a hug tactic to prevent Tyson from punching. In the first round, the Huo family had a slight advantage. In the second round, Holyfield adhered to the established tactics, and Tyson was unable to break through the opponent's defense. During a hug, Tyson reluctantly signaled to the referee to his opponent to hug passively. Huo took the opportunity to punch a left hook and broke the corner of Tyson's right eye and bled. This punch made Tyson a little anxious. Tyson launched an even more ferocious attack at the beginning of the third round. But Holyfield's flexible defense did not give him much advantage. Huo's repeated cuddle tactics made Tyson helpless and impatient. When the two sides hugged each other again, Tyson opened his mouth and bit Huo's right ear in a hurry. Surprisingly, the referee did not stop the game immediately, and Holyfield continued to play after simply treating the wound. Unexpectedly, Tyson opened his mouth and bit Holyfield's ear again, making Holyfield furious on the court. But Tyson still continued to wave and tease his opponent, as if to say, if you hold me again, I will bite you. During the break in the third round, due to the uncontrollable anger of both sides, their respective guards, coaches, referees, and police rushed into the ring, and the match was forced to end. Holyfield and Tyson exited one after another. The organizers finally announced that Tyson had bitten and fouled and was disqualified. Holyfield won the game and successfully defended the title. On July 9, the Nevada Sports Commission announced its verdict for Tyson's biting behavior: Tyson's boxing license was revoked and a fine of $3 million. Holyfield said after the game, Tyson bit me twice with his mouth. This had never happened before, so I couldn't continue playing, and my coach asked me to retire. Tyson's actions were shameful. Tyson believes the referee should not stop the game. His agent Tang Jin also quivered that it was unfair for the referee to terminate the game. If Hodges bit Tyson, would the referee stop the game? Tyson's gaffe on the court seemed to be telling his boxing fans that as a sheep, he did not eat grass, but meat. Holyfield, who is in the year of the rabbit, seems to have grown a little longer. Tyson's overly "intimate" bite also reminded many China viewers of the scene in the movie "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" and also gave him the line: "You can't afford to lose, you're shameless! "A boxing battle that attracted worldwide attention ended in an almost comical ending, adding another story to the history of boxing that cannot be commented on. How will Tyson, a powerful hero in boxing history, face his fans in the future? Holyfield match after being bitten
