Mike Tyson bites gloves during fight with Jake Paul, explains nervous habit

Mike Tyson was seen biting his gloves during his recent fight against Jake Paul, which he lost by unanimous decision. Tyson landed significantly fewer punches than Paul, showing he is past his prime. This glove-biting habit is not new for Tyson. He also bit his glove during his exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020. Tyson has mentioned that this behavior may be a nervous tick. Tyson's glove-biting has drawn comparisons to his infamous ear-biting incident with Evander Holyfield in 1997. He joked that fighters sometimes act without thinking, suggesting his glove-biting is an unconscious habit.
