Mike Tyson Releases ‘Mike Bites’
Written by 1.02010 on March 17, 2022
Mike Tyson jumped into the cannabis industry in 2018, and now the boxing legend is fulfilling one of his most iconic moments with a new line of edible gummies. Called Mike Bites.
The gummies happen to be in the shape of Evander Holyfield‘s ear after his 1997 fight with Tyson that resulted in him getting a chunk of his ear bitten off.
Looks like this idea has been on Tyson’s brain for quite some time now, in 2019 on his podcast Hotboxin’ With Mike Tyson, the boxer had a conversation with Holyfield and that’s when he reportedly first pitched the idea.
People keep asking, ‘How are you gonna forgive something like that?’ I say, everything that ever happened, at some point in time, I did it. Mike bit me, I say I bit somebody too – it just wasn’t on TV. I bit a guy in his shoulder, he dropped me, and I didn’t know when you had a concussion, you’ll bite too,” Holyfield said. “You might be in business because we’re going to make some holy ears. Some edibles [of the ear] that got a bite taken out of ’em,” Tyson replied.
There haven’t been any reports if Holyfield is receiving a portion of any money from ‘Mike Bites’ but after the pictures were released online a lot of fans seem to think it’s a brilliant idea.
