Sorry, Mike Tyson -- there's a new famous biter in the sports world.

Tuesday's Uruguay-Italy World Cup match was so intense that Uruguay forward Luis Suarez was foaming at the mouth. He took out his frustration (or hunger or anger) on Italian player Giorgio Chiellini, biting him on the shoulder.

It was a moment for the World Cup history books (sort of -- Suarez has bitten two other players previously), but it's old news to Evander Holyfield. The boxer, who took a nasty bite to the ear by Mike Tyson in 1997, tweeted his thoughts on the new most famous bite in sports.

I guess any part of the body is up for eating.

Perhaps Holyfield and Chiellini can attend support group meetings together.

And Mike Tyson and Suarez can grab dinner together...
