boxer's ear

Denis nodded and leaned forward to speak into Boxer's ear.

Mike Tyson was sentenced to pay a heavy fine after he bit off a piece of another boxer's ear.

Many veterinarians now refuse to crop (cut, bandage and splint to produce points) the boxer's ears and many owners prefer the "naturally-floppy ears" to avoid painful and possibly cruel cosmetic surgery.

Biting another boxer's ears, and spitting out the tip of Holyfield's right ear, would not seem to conform to what Gifford, in her 1992 courtroom conversation with Tyson, considered "certain standards and norms" for a role model.
