The biggest and most publicized boxing news story was probably Mike Tyson's fight against evander holyfield in which he got his ear bit off. Supposed to be a rematch from their first fight at MGM.
Tyson was not i a right frame of mind during those days, and in his mind, he was responding to the elbows he received from holyfield. That does not excuse his behaviour though, but I think we understand his mind set a little better.
Tyson lost 6 fights as a professional, to: James "Buster" Douglas Evander Holyfield (twice) Lennox Lewis Danny Williams Kevin McBride. http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=474&cat=boxer
