Footage of Mike Tyson's hearing in front of the Nevada State Athletic Commission made for amusing viewing this week. The tormented former champion, who was before the board in order for them to assess whether he was mentally fit to be thrown back into the snake pit of professional heavyweight boxing, seemed hilarious given the other parties involved in the top end of the sport.

But Tyson, doomed always to take the wrong option at the wrong time, was caught on video pretending to bite the ear off his wife, a la the Evander Holyfield incident. The dumb heavyweight had forgotten that cameras were recording every movement and made the lunge as a joke to lighten the mood of the hearing - all in good taste of course.
