Woman Told Boyfriend 'I'm Going To Mike Tyson You' And Bit His Ear

A domestic abuse suspect reportedly told her boyfriend: 'I'm going to Mike Tyson you' before biting his ear.

Angelica Roberts apparently attacked her partner after an argument over a statue on in a car in Salt Lake City, Utah, on Christmas Eve.

Her alleged threat was a reference to the infamous 1997 WBA Heavyweight Championship fight between Tyson and Evander Holyfield.

Tyson was disqualified after biting a bit of Holyfield's ear off inside a packed MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas.

Davis County Sheriff's Office spokesman Liz Sollis said per The Metro: "It appeared as this Ms. Roberts was the primary perpetrator against her partner."

Her alleged victim told authorities how he 'bit (Roberts') left middle finger while she choked him.' Sollis told abc4: 'It did appear that he had some wounds that would result in him trying to protect himself.'

The ear biting incident has gone down as one of the biggest incidents in boxing history.

Since the incident, Holyfield has come to forgive 'Iron Mike' and even discussed the incident on Tyson's podcast earlier this year.

Per TMZ, he said:

"People keep asking, 'How are you gonna forgive somebody?'" Holyfield says. "I say, everything that ever happened, at some point in time, I did it."

Holyfield went on to say that he once bit someone as well but it was not on the global stage like their fight 22 years ago.

"Mike bit me, I say I bit somebody too ... it just wasn't on TV.

"I bit a guy in his shoulder. He dropped me, and I didn't know when you had a concussion, you'll bite too."

Holyfield didn't name who he had bit and followed up that who it was did get in contact with him after Tyson bit him.

He says that he was swift to remind him of what he'd done.

"He said, remember when you bit me?

"I said I sure did, b***h! You shouldn't have grabbed me!"

Tyson went on to joke that he made back the $3 million fine he had to pay by taking photos with fans who wanted to reenact the bite.
