Mike Tyson reunited with Evander Holyfield on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” on Friday (October 16) despite biting his ear off over a decade ago. They shook hands shook several times during their interview, which Tyson said was the first time they spoke in length since bitting incident. During Tyson’s first appearance earlier in the week, he said that the initial apology following the incident was not sincere. When he saw Holyfield this time, he didn’t apologize. Instead, he praised him.

“This is a beautiful guy,” he said, holding Holyfield’s arm affectionately for several seconds. “I just want you to know it’s just been a pleasure … being acquainted with you.”

Asked by Winfrey if he was still missing part of his ear, Holyfield pointed to it and said, “Just a little bit.”

You talk about biting,” Holyfield said. “I’m the person that bit every brother in my family.”
