The 27-year-old social media influencer-turned-prizefighter Jake Paul defeated 58-year-old former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson in a live streamed Netflix match which was played at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington. Now, after the fight, Tyson was asked by combat sports journalist Ariel Helwani about why he kept biting his glove during his fight with Paul. On this, Tyson replied saying, “I have a habit of biting my glove when I fight. I have a biting fixation.”
As per reports, his statement reflected on his infamous 1997 disqualification during a title fight with Evander Holyfield, where he bit Holyfield’s ear twice. As a result of the incident, Tyson was also fined $3 million and also received an 18-month ban from boxing.
