Mills Lane, the legendary boxing referee who was third in the ring when Mike Tyson bit Evander Holyfield’s ear, passed away on Tuesday. He was 85.
Aside being a boxer and referee, he also served as Washoe County district attorney and judge for three seasons of the television program “Judge Mills Lane.”
Before working as a judge, Lane was well-known as a boxer and referee. Even though he was fighting at just 147 pounds, his small stature didn’t prevent him from rising in the boxing hierarchy. “Let’s get it on!” is his catchphrase, which he popularized during his court appearances. He first used it in the ring.
After having a stroke in 2002, Lane’s son, Tommy, said his father had lately taken a serious turn for the worse before entering hospice care on Friday. He passed away at home in Reno, Nevada, with his wife, Kaye, and two sons there.

The family may hold a memorial at a later time, according to Tommy Lane, who stated that no funeral service is scheduled, as the deceased hated funerals.
