For biting Evander Holyfield's ear he did Notreceive any jail time. Tyson was sentenced with a permanent suspension from boxing and his license cancelled forever. He was also fined $3,000,000 and had to serve long hours of community service. However one year later, on October 18, 1998, after an appeal in court, the commission voted 4--1 to restore Tyson's boxing license. Mike Tyson was given back his job as a boxer and his license was official again.
Tyson's jail time was for raping Desiree Washington and he was sentenced to six years in prison but was released after serving three years.

∙ 11y agoThere was no criminal charge filed. Tyson had $3 million immediately withheld from the $30 million purse he would have received from the Tyson-Holyfield fight, his boxing license was rescinded by the state of Nevada, and he was ordered to pay legal fees for the athletic commission's hearing on the biting incident. Nevada did not permanently revoke Tyson's boxing license, though, restoring the license in 1998. (Previous to the Tyson-Holyfield fight, Tyson was sentenced to 6 yrs in prison for raping Desiree Washington, served three of those years and was released in 1995.)

How long in jail for ripping off a piece of someones ear?
Ask Mike Tyson. Ripping off a piece of someone's ear is known as aggravated battery causing disfigurement or disability, replacing the older term of "mayhem." I don't answer questions of specifically how long a person will stay in jail/prison for a certain offense. This depends on other circumstances, aggravating or mitigating, surrounding the offense.
