Top 10 most iconic images in the history of sports

Every sport has the capacity to leave you with memorable memories that you will cherish for years to come. And to be able to capture it in a picture is even better! Over the years, there have been quite a few iconic images of different sports, images that defined the era. Here, we try to look at 10 of the best in history.

Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield 

Perhaps the most iconic images in the history of Professional Boxing is the sight of Mike Tyson biting off Evander Holyfield’s ear.

This was the second encounter between the two, with the first fight ending in Holyfield winning by TKO, in the process flooring Tyson, which was only the second time that happened in his career.

Therefore, you could understand Tyson’s frustration when even in the re-match Holyfield was dominating him. And Tyson being Tyson, decided that biting off his ear, not once but twice, was a perfectly normal thing to do!

As a result of this, Mike Tyson’s licence was temporarily revoked and he was fined a fee of $3 million.
