Former heavyweight champions Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield have come a long way since 1997, when Tyson bit off a piece of Holyfield's ear in the third round and was disqualified in their infamous championship rematch.
Over the years, they have put their ill feelings for each other to bed and even appeared in a recent television commercial spoofing the biting incident.
Tyson and Holyfield will be together again when Tyson serves as presenter for Holyfield's induction into the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame on Aug. 9 at the Tropicana in Las Vegas.
