Olympic boxer tries to bite opponent’s ear in shocking Mike Tyson moment (msn.com)
Ref definitely wildin as well allowing the match to continue.
"Despite Tuesday’s bite attempt, the referee allowed the match to continue and Nyika went on to win the fight, advancing to the men’s quarterfinal. He later joked about the incident on Instagram, writing that “somebody’s got a sweet-tooth.”
But he later asked social media trolls to respect his opponent after Baalla began facing attacks over the bite attempt.
“The heat of battle can bring the best AND the worst out of people,” Nyika said in another message. “This is part of sport. I have nothing but respect for my opponent and can appreciate the frustration he must have felt. Please don’t reach out to him if you have nothing nice to say.”
