Mike Tyson follows Luis Suarez on Twitter following Branislav Ivanovic bite

Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has acquired a new follower on social network website Twitter in the form of ex-world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson.

The former American boxer decided to add Suarez to his online list after the striker bit the arm of Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic during yesterday's 2-2 draw at Anfield.

Tyson can relate to the Uruguay international as he was previously disqualified and fined for biting the ear of Evander Holyfield while in the ring in 1997.

Meanwhile, Liverpool have insisted that they want to keep hold of Suarez, despite the controversial incident.
