Mike Tyson to Induct Evander Holyfield into the Boxing Hall of Fame


Back in 1997 Mike Tyson famously bit a chunk out of Evander Holyfield's ear during their highly anticipated championship rematch.

In proof that time heals all wounds, literally, Mike Tyson will induct his former nemesis into the Boxing Hall of Fame…

It was announced earlier this week that Mike Tyson will deliver the presenting speech for Evander Holyfield's induction into the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame on August 9th at the Tropicana in Las Vegas.

Fun Facts: After the 1997 biting incident Mike Tyson had his boxing license revoked by the Nevada State Athletic Commission and was fined $3 million dollars. Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield remained staunch enemies until 2009 when Mike publicly apologized to Evander on the Oprah Winfrey show.
