RIP Mills Lane, 1937-2022.

[pjbear05]

Iconic boxing referee Mills Lane passes away at 85.  No COD given.  He had been in hospice care for a week at the time of his death.

Among the fights he officiated was the rematch between Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson, aka "The Bite Fight", in which Tyson partially bit off part of Holyfield's ear.

RIP, Mills, and  as he said, "Let's get it on!"

Probably the best referee I've seen. RIP Mills.

 

For some reason I was sure he was dead already.
