Move over Mike Tyson, there's another biter in professional boxing history.
American boxer Danny Garcia said Ukraine's Ivan Redkach bit him during the eighth round of their welterweight bout in Brooklyn on Saturday night. Even stranger, Garcia claims Redkach said "Mike Tyson" to him when the incident happened, according to BBC Sports.

Tyson infamously bit a part of Evander Holyfield's ear off during their 1997 fight.
"I might be the second fighter in history to be bit, right?" Garcia, 31, said. "Evander Holyfield and Danny Garcia, put me in the history books.
"(Redkach) has new teeth, too, he's got some brand-new veneers, he was putting them bad boys to work."
