Mike Tyson says he feels "disgust, disdain and humiliation" for biting Evander Holyfield during their second heavyweight championship fight.

"I shouldn't have done that because for that one moment, I just forgot he was a human being," Tyson told ABC in an interview shown Monday night on "Prime-Time Live.""It was extremeness. There was some serious stuff going on in my head. I just snapped. I was no longer playing under the rules. Any kind of functional thinking, any kind of rational thinking, that was totally out the window."

Tyson's boxing license was suspended by the Nevada Athletic Commission after he bit both of Holyfield's ears during their bout last June 28 in Las Vegas.

Tyson can apply for reinstatement in July, but he doesn't think the commission will lift the ban.

"Truly, I think I'll be banned for the rest of my life," Tyson said.

"I truly think everyone hates me. I truly believe that. Because no one gets punished more than I am. But I understand. I'm a big boy and I believe big boys have big ordeals to be dealt with."

Tyson, who suffered broken ribs and a punctured lung in a motorcycle accident last week, said he thinks people want him to beg for mercy.

"I'm not that way with anyone," he said. "This is who I am and maybe sometimes it's the insecurity. I want to be the defiant person. That's part of my insecurity, but you know, it's just who I am."

Tyson, who was joined for a segment of the interview by his wife, Dr. Monica Turner, and three of their children, said he has been in therapy since the Holyfield fight.

"It's kind of scary to change and feel a little helpless in changing," he said. "We're working on it and hopefully it'll turn out better. I don't know why I'm afraid to change. I change in increments. It's not going to happen overnight.

"I'm not a stable person. I'm pretty sporadic and spontaneous. I think change is necessary and I can tell you this thing is working. I know I have a problem. There's no doubt about that."
