“He’s Already Teaching Him His Bad Habits”: Photo of Francis Ngannou Doing Something That Cost Mike Tyson $3 Million Makes Rounds on the Internet and Fans Are Having a Field Day

The ‘Bite Fight’ happened 26 years ago, on June 28, 1997, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. No one expected it to become a historic event for all the wrong reasons. In the third round, Mike Tyson shockingly bit off part of Evander Holyfield‘s ear. Tyson faced severe consequences: disqualification, a $3 million fine, and a temporary ban from boxing.

Today, the story has changed as ‘The Real Deal’ has forgiven ‘Iron Mike,’ and they have moved past that to even become business partners. However, a recent post featuring former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou echoes the infamous act. But what did the ‘The Predator’  do that made the fans on social media remember that iconic fight?
