‘Momma brought me up to forgive and forget’ – Evander Holyfield on the bitting incident during a Boxing ma

“Mike didn’t apologize for his actions right there in the ring, nor immediately afterwards but later on he did, and we shook hands over it.

We’re the best of friends today and sometimes meet at big fights. He’s a good guy. Do I forgive Tyson for biting my ears? Of course I do. If not, I would be a very angry person and I’m not.

The incident doesn’t bother me at all. You have to forget such things and move on. Momma brought me up to forgive and forget. But I don’t think Mike has forgiven himself. He still thinks he’s a bad man but he’s not.’
