More than two decades after being disqualified from a WBA heavyweight title fight for biting Evander Holyfield's ear, Mike Tyson, one of the most famous boxers in history, is looking to capitalize on one of the milestones that cemented his legendary status.
And he wants to do it in a rather eccentric way, combining his new cannabis company with Holyfield's infamous ear bite.
Tyson 2.0, the name of the boxer's company, released some ear-shaped groceries that he is calling “Mike Bites”, which are missing, as it could not be otherwise, a piece on the top of the top.
It's all a nod to Tyson biting off a piece of Holyfield's ear during that infamous title fight in 1997.
Tyson gave the product his seal of approval, responding to a tweet about the new product writing “These ears really taste good!”
At launch, “Mike Bites” will be sold at dispensaries in California, Massachusetts and Nevada.
For his role in the infamous 1997 heavyweight title fight, Tyson was disqualified and his boxing license revoked after biting both Holyfield's ears. He was also fined $3 million.
Since then, Holyfield and Tyson have reconciled and are on good terms. On a 2019 episode of the podcast “'Hotboxin' with Mike Tyson”, Holyfield revealed that he “forgave” Tyson, and Tyson threw him an ear-shaped candy.
“You may be in business because we are going to make sacred ears,” Tyson said at the time. “Edible ears that were removed a little. Holy ears.”
Now one of the most iconic moments in boxing history is being immortalized in an edible cannabis form, something that could only be the work of the eccentric Mike Tyson.
