Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA (submitted by REA). Highest-graded example! Full ticket to the infamous and bizarre "Bite Fight" between Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield at MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on June 28, 1997. The fight, which was for the WBA Heavyweight Championship, was the second fight between the two. Holyfield had defeated Tyson seven months earlier in a huge upset to recapture the WBA Heavyweight Championship belt. In the third round of this highly anticipated rematch, Tyson, who was losing the fight, proceeded to bite Holyfield twice, once along each ear. Upon the discovery of the second bite at the end of the round, the fight was halted and Holyfield was declared the winner by disqualification. Opening Bid $500.
