Mike Tyson isn't just known as one of the most fearsome boxers in the history of the sport, but he's also renowned for his love for cannabis that has turned into an entrepreneurial venture, with his Tyson 2.0 brand now announcing a range of cannabis edibles that are inspired by one of the most shocking and iconic incidents in the history of boxing.
The 'Mike Bites' are incomplete ear-shaped edibles that revisit the unbelievable memory of Mike Tyson biting his rival Evander Holyfield's ear in June 1998. The unsavory incident led to Tyson's boxing license being withdrawn and him having to pay a massive fine.
However, with some 25 years having passed since the incident, it appears that Tyson and his Tyson 2.0 cannabis brand are open to jovially revisiting memories of that incident with the launch of the 'Mike Bites' cannabis edibles, which feature 10 milligrams per gummy and are available in black raspberry, watermelon and sour apple flavors.
