Holyfield’s gloves from the fight where Mike Tyson bit his ear are up for auction

Gloves of former American boxer Evander Holyfield auctioned.

In these gloves, Holyfield had an infamous fight against a countryman mike tyson who bit off a piece of his ear during the fight.

This rematch between Holyfield and Tyson for the WBA heavyweight title took place on June 28, 1997 – seven months after Holyfield won the first fight by technical knockout. Tyson bit off a piece of Holyfield’s ear in the third round of that fight.
