I was trying to recall which boxers were involved in the biting off part of the ear incident, one of the more odd moments in boxing history.
It was in 1997, where Mike Tyson bit off part of Evander Holyfield's ear --TWICE, DURING ONE FIGHT-- during one of their grudge matches. That made the fight memorable for its notoriety.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evander_HolyfieldThere's also the incident where Miss Black Rhode Island contestant Desiree Washington in 1991 accused Mike Tyson of raping her in a hotel room, for which Tyson was convicted. Although it is seen as a poorly conducted legal defense that got Tyson imprisoned, for which he served 3 years, despite many facts that indicate Desiree Washington falsely accused him.
