1. On June 28, 1997, whose ear did Mike Tyson bite off?

Answer: Evander Holyfield

Referred to as "The Bite Fight", this match for the WBA Heavyweight Championship is billed as one of the the most bizarre fight in boxing history. After Tyson bit off part of Holyfield's ear, Tyson was immediately disqualified from the match and lost his boxing license.

Answer: 105-5-0

Rocky Marciano was undefeated when he retired on April 27, 1956. He had a record of 49-0-0. Ali retired with a record of 56-5-0. Neither fighter ever tied.

There were 276 knockdowns in this Bare-knuckle Brawl.
