Willis discussed boxing, in general, as well as his acclaimed book, "The Bite Fight: Tyson, Holyfield and the Night that Changed Boxing Forever" (Triumph Books, June, 2013).  Willis examines the sensational events surrounding the legendary clash and his book features more than 100 interviews, including those with Tyson and Holyfield, to provide a previously untold, behind-the-scenes look at "The Bite Fight."     Ring 8 members are shown here purchasing signed copies of George Willis' book, "The Bite Fight: Tyson, Holyfield and the Night that Changed Boxing Forever."
