What is the Most Famous DQ in Boxing?

A disqualification (DQ) in boxing occurs when a fighter is ruled to have broken a rule, resulting in their opponent being declared the winner. The most famous DQ in boxing history took place on June 28, 1997, in a heavyweight title bout between Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield.

In the third round of the fight, Tyson bit Holyfield's ear twice, prompting the referee to disqualify him and award the victory to Holyfield. The incident sparked outrage in the boxing world and remains one of the most controversial moments in sports history. Tyson was fined $3 million and suspended from boxing for 15 months.
