In one of the final bouts of the World Boxing Championship in Dubai, there was not only a sensational victory but also a loud scandal reminiscent of the famous episode involving Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield. The Russian boxer sparked protests for attempting to bite his opponent's ear during the IBA world championship title fight.



As a result of this incident, Uzbek journalists and experts began loudly demanding the disqualification of the Russian, emphasizing the importance of adhering to sports rules and fairness in competitions. This situation also raises questions about the objectivity of the judging at the tournament and attentiveness to such violations.



In light of this scandal, the judges' decision about the winner of the bout and the awarding of the title may raise doubts among many viewers and members of the boxing community given the circumstances of this extraordinary match.
