There are several ways someone could be compared to Mike Tyson, but this one is the least appetizing.
Boxer Nicolas Pablo Demario drew comparisons to Tyson over the weekend, and it wasn’t for a knockout punch or a face tattoo.
Instead, Demario chose to do his best Tyson impression when he bit opponent Josue Vargas during a match over the weekend.

The junior welterweight boxer was actually winning the fight at the time, having knocked down Vargas twice already. But Demario was docked a point for the carnivorous incident and went on to lose the bout by unanimous decision.
The match took place before the Miguel Berchelt-Jeremiah Nakathila fight on Saturday.

The bite drew comparisons to The Bite Fight — the second match between Tyson and Evander Holyfield — when Tyson bit off a piece of Holyfield’s ear.
