Suarez finds a friend in Tyson
Luis Suarez has found a friend in the wake of his bite controversy - fellow chomper Mike Tyson.
Suarez is facing a long spell on the sidelines after the FA charged him with biting Branislav Ivanovic on the arm in Liverpool’s draw with Chelsea.
Tyson was involved in a similar incident when he bit off a chunk of Evander Holyfield’s ear in a WBA heavyweight title fight in 1997.
But the American hardman eventually made amends with his rival.
And, despite Ivanovic refusing to accept Suarez’s apology, Tyson reckons the duo will eventually see eye to eye.
He said: "Suarez bit someone, it happens. I am sure he will make amends with this guy.
"I made amends with Evander and we got on with our lives."
Tyson started to follow Suarez on Twitter when he heard of the weekend incident.
He added: "I saw this guy on the Twitter thing and thought I would check it out and see what his journey was all about."
