Worker finds Holyfield ear, gives to champ

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- A hotel worker gave Evander Holyfield a present after his fight with Mike Tyson -- the piece of his ear that Tyson bit off in the third round.
Mitchell Libonati went into the ring after the fight ended in chaos after the third round and found the piece of ear on the canvas.
He wrapped it in latex gloves and took it to Holyfield's dressing room, where he told his camp:
"I have something he probably wants."
Libonati described the ear as "not bloody, like a piece of sausage."
Holyfield was taken to Valley Hospital after the fight, where surgeons were expected to try and fix his ear. It was not know if they would use the part Libonati found.
"All I wanted out of it was to meet Evander," said Libonati, who worked the fight as a glove cutter and ring cleaner.
