THE MIKE TYSON EAR BITE: WHO IS TO BLAME? May 09, 2023

Show notes

Who’s to blame for the Mike Tyson Ear Bite?

This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes boxing coach Keith Mckay to discuss the notorious “Bite Fight” between Mike Tyson and Evander Hollyfield. Did the much speculated head butting have something to do with it? Should the referee and physician have called off the match? Or perhaps Mike Tyson’s pettiness is to blame. It seems safe to say, Hollyfield’s ears may have taken the hit, but this match was definitely below the belt! Producer Clayton Early joins the conversation.
