↵On Monday’s show, when asked about Holyfield, Mike said that the↵two of them had seen each other here and there over the years, but↵never really met or talked about what happened between them in the↵ring. Tyson said that he’d always want to shake his hand and apologize↵for biting his ear off in their 1997 rematch, but that there were↵always other people around and the time never felt right.↵
