Olympic Boxer Attempts to Bite Opponent in the Ear
Moroccan boxer Youness Baalla was losing in the final round of the fight and appeared to get desperate by attempting to bite his opponent in the ear.
Moroccan boxer Youness Baalla did the unthinkable during a heavyweight bout with New Zealand's David Nyika at the Tokyo Olympics and attempted to bite him.
Luckily, Baalla was unable to latch on in what could have been a scary situation. Baalla was behind in points in the third and final round when the two were wrapped up and he decided to get desperate.
Strangely enough, the referee didn't see the attempt and the fight continued on.
Nyika went on to win 5–0 and after the fight shared his shock.
“Did you see that? I don’t think the ref saw it. She was the closest one,” Nyika said, per Eurosport. “He didn’t get a full mouthful. Luckily, he had his mouthguard in, and I was a bit sweaty."
Strangely enough, this isn't the first time a boxer has infamously attempted to take a bite of an opponent. Mike Tyson took a chunk of Evander Holyfield’s ear during a championship fight at Madison Square Garden in 1997 and was disqualified. He later had his boxing license revoked for 15 months.
This also isn't the first time that one of Nyika's opponents has tried to bite him.
“I don’t remember what I said to him, but I gave him a little bit of a cheek," he said. "I have been bitten once on the chest before at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games. But come on man, this is the Olympics.”

Dang mouthguards.
Interesting that this occured in Tokyo, where Tyson lost to Douglas, very strange indeed.
Very creepy indeed!
You can see in this video, he tried to take a big bite, if his opponent hadn't moved his head, he might have lost that ear.
To be fair, I think there's a little bit of the cannibal in all of us. Wouldn't you agree?
..........
No
It's really the only way to handle a situation like that, when things aren't going your way, just eat his ear.
(never mind)
i would not agree.
nyika heard the bite coming from a mile away?
Yea, you're right. I was just trying to give the guy the benefit of doubt.
I don't know why, but all of a sudden I'm in the mood for some Jack Link's.
was that the Dahmer Division?
the only thing i thought was possibly being loaded in the chamber was a cunnil joke…
Heck, I remember when Mike Tyson tried to start his own rock band, but it didn't work out because he wanted all the fame for himself.
How did you do that?
Didn't do it, actual cereal.
Edited to add: It's full of protein.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Doubledragon
I heard that Mike Tyson himself has visited this thread. And he wants you to watch this clip from one of his favorite movies. This might not be true, I'm not sure.
If Mike Tyson is watching, I just want to say, Mike you're a funny guy!
Hey Mike if you're listening, meet me out in the desert, I need to talk to for a minute.
