New Tyson Memoir Reveals Peanut Butter Was behind Holyfield's Ear
Former Champ Says He Couldn't Help Himself after Getting a Sniff of the 'Chunky, Spreadable Treat That Kids Love To Eat.'

MEDFORD, NEW JERSEY -
Former local dog park champion, dominant alpha dog Tyson filed an official protest today after he was banned for two weeks from Freedom Park Dog Park.
Tyson, a Pit Bull, received a time out from his owner after a scuffle with a mutt named Holyfield who was visiting from Delaware.
The fight began as the two sparred over a tennis ball for a while and then began rolling on the ground and growling as onlookers scattered.
After a few moments Tyson became more aggressive and then suddenly took a chunk out of a frightened Holyfield's ear. Holyfield let out a loud yelp and ran into the nearby creek rubbing his paw over his bloody earflap.
At his news conference Tyson said, "Holyfield was clearly using a banned substance around his ear, I smelled peanut butter and went in for the lick. Unfortunately I got more than I bargained for."
Park Officials asked that Tyson be removed immediately and kept away from the dog park for two weeks.
Holyfield's ear is healing nicely and although he denies using peanut butter he says he is looking forward to a rematch in two weeks. "At least I put up a better fight than John McCain."
