Tyson and Holyfield fought again on June 28, 1997. Originally, Halpern was supposed to be the referee, but after Tyson's camp protested, Halpern stepped aside in favor of Mills Lane.[55] The highly anticipated rematch was dubbed "The Sound and the Fury," and was held at the Las Vegas MGM Grand Garden Arena, site of the first bout. It was a lucrative event, drawing even more attention than the first bout and grossing $100-million. Tyson received $30 million and Holyfield $35 million — the highest paid professional boxing purses ever until 2007.[56][57] The fight was purchased by 1.99 million households, setting a pay-per-view buy rate record that stood until the May 5, 2007, De La Hoya-Mayweather boxing match.[58][57]
Soon to become one of the most controversial events in modern sports,[59] the fight was stopped at the end of the third round, with Tyson disqualified[60] for biting Holyfield on both ears. The first time he bit him they stopped the match but later resumed. However after the match resumed Tyson did it again except this time he got disqualified and Holyfield won the match. One bite was severe enough to remove a piece of Holyfield's right ear, which was found on the ring floor after the fight.[61] Tyson later stated that it was retaliation for Holyfield repeatedly head butting him without penalty.[54] In the confusion that followed the ending of the bout and announcement of the decision, a near riot erupted in the arena and several people were injured in the ensuing melee.[62]
As a subsequent fallout from the incident, US$3 million was immediately withheld from Tyson's $30-million purse by the Nevada state boxing commission (the most it could legally hold back at the time).[63] Two days after the fight, Tyson issued a statement,[64] apologizing directly to Holyfield for his actions and asked not to be banned for life over the incident.[65] Tyson was roundly condemned in the news media but was not without defenders. Novelist and commentator Katherine Dunn wrote a column that criticized Holyfield's sportsmanship in the controversial bout and charged the news media with being biased against Tyson.[66]
On July 9, 1997, Tyson's boxing license was revoked by the Nevada State Athletic Commission in a unanimous voice vote; he was also fined US$3 million and ordered to pay the legal costs of the hearing.[67] As most state athletic commissions honor sanctions imposed by other states, this effectively made Tyson unable to box in the United States. The revocation was not permanent, as a little more than a year later on October 18, 1998, the commission voted 4-1 to restore Tyson's boxing license.[68]
During his time away from boxing in 1998, Tyson made a guest appearance at WrestleMania XIV as an enforcer for the main event match between Shawn Michaels and Steve Austin.

Mike Gerald Tyson - all'anagrafe Michael Gerald Tyson - (Brooklyn, 30 giugno 1966) è un ex pugile statunitense. SoprYearsminato Iron Mike, Baddest Man on the Planet , Kid Dinamite e King Kong, Tyson ha assunto il nome islamico di Malik Abdul Aziz durante il periodo trascorso in carcere a scontare una condanna per stupro. Per il suo comportamento è stato giudicato da ESPN il peggior sportivo degli ultimi 25 anni (giudizio di esperti ed amatori).
Sicuramente tra gli atleti più riconoscibili (e pagati) degli anni '80 e '90, Iron Mike è un misto di talento e sregolatezza.
Holyfield debuttò come professionista il 15 novembre 1985, a 23 anni, battendo in 6 riprese Lionel Byarm al Madison square Garden di New York. Nel 1988, dopo aver sconfitto a Las vegas Carlos de Leon, in 8 riprese, Holyfield annuncia il suo passaggio ai pesi massimi. Il primo incontro gli è favorevole: il 16 luglio, a Lake Tahoe, Holyfield batte James Tillis per KO alla quinta ripresa, e si ripete a fine Years, quando batte Pinklon Thomas, campione del mondo, mettendolo al tappeto alla sesta ripresa. Ma l'apice della sua carriera è la vittoria in 3 riprese contro James Douglas, il primo pugile che era stato capace di sconfiggere Mike Tyson. Successivamente è George Foreman a essere sconfitto da Holyfield, ai punti dopo 12 riprese.
Nel 1996 si tiene il primo dei due epici incontri Holyfield Tyson. In quell’Years, per la verità, Holyfield aveva già battuto in 6 riprese Bobby Cziz, e il 9 novembre arriva Iron Mike. Contro ogni pronostico, Holyfield vince in 11 riprese. Da quel momento il pugile si associa a Muhammad Ali e Lennox Lewis per il fatto di essere stato tre volte campione del mondo dei pesi massimi.
La rivincita con Holyfield si tiene a Las Vegas, in Nevada, il 28 giugno del 1997 ma questa volta le possibilità di vittoria di Iron Mike, solitamente favorito dai pronostici, sembrano essere poche. Mike Tyson durante questo match perde il controllo e nel corso del terzo round, vistosi nuovamente vicino alla sconfitta, morde ripetutamente l'orecchio dell'avversario staccandogliene un pezzo e costringendo quindi l'arbitro Mills Lane a interrompere l'incontro, a squalificarlo e a decretare la vittoria in favore di Evander Holyfield. In seguito a questo episodio, forse senza precedenti nella storia della boxe, la Commissione Atletica del Nevada decide di revocare a Tyson la licenza di pugile per un Years.
