Giachetti later returned to Tyson's corner for his second fight against Evander Holyfield, the infamous "bite fight".Giachetti also trained two times world cruiserweight champion Jean Marc Mormeck and worked with another top cruiserweight Steve Cunningham and Sal Cenicola in the late 1980s. He worked on several Sylvester Stallone movies and worked with Stallone on boxing promotions in the New York City area. Giachetti died February 3, 2016 at the age of 75 in Lodi Ohio
