A pair of red EVERLAST boxing gloves worn by Evander Holyfield for his Heavyweight Championship fight, and rematch, against Mike Tyson on June 28, 1997 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. The gloves feature an Everlast logo patch stitched into the wrist of each glove. Each glove is marked "Holyfield #1" in black marker on the Everlast patch. The gloves also feature a white Everlast logo on the exterior of each glove. The rematch between Holyfield and Tyson - which has come to be known as "The Bite Fight" - will go down as one of the most bizarre fights in boxing history. In the third round of the fight, and on his second attempt, Tyson bit the ear of Holyfield tearing off the top of it, known as the helix. Tyson was immediately disqualified from the fight giving Holyfield the victory by disqualification. Categories: Evander Holyfield
