Edit request (request for a registered user to fix something)
Hmm.. I'll be doing my own research later tonight, but I came here from the Mike Tyson page because it clearly talks about multiple headbutts Holyfield delivered to Tyson "accidentally" through the fight, from which he suffered no penalties (which makes Tyson biting his ear(s) seem oddly reasonable, since it was only an "accident", after all, hah!).. If these headbutts are indeed a part of history then I feel it needs to be listed here, for Wikipedia's good name and historical accuracy both.. Again, I'm unclear on the subject since I'm reading Tyson's page as a result of him starting an animated series on Adult Swim, no boxing fan here, but I was shocked to find out that Tyson's seemingly random ear-attack may have had a very serious meaning behind it..
Since this article is locked, I cannot make an edit. So instead, I am submitting a request. In the "Present" section, the second-to-last sentence states,
"However, In June 2014, after not fighting in over three years, Holyfield announced that his final retirement."
This sentence is a fragment and the words don't make perfect sense, although it is perfectly clear what is intended. Would someone be willing to fix the sentence so that the intended meaning is represented more clearly? Thank you. 67.186.207.83 (talk) 04:37, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
