It’s the third round of the second Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson match. With less than a minute left to finish that round, Tyson bites the piece of the cartilage of Holyfield’s ear, disqualifying the former. It was a historic moment, and it will become available as an edible called Mike Bites. And it’s only available in the Mike Tyson weed company, Tyson 2.0.
What is Tyson 2.0?
Tyson 2.0 is a cannabis company created by Mike Tyson.
Mike Tyson considers cannabis instrumental in his life, especially at his prime. For him, cannabis helps him physically and mentally. Plus, Tyson 2.0 is one way for him to share this relief with others too. Currently, this is their product line:
- Toad line – one inspired by Mike Tyson’s toad-licking experiences
- Lower potency flower – greenhouse and sun-grown
- Higher potency flower – indoor
They also plan on selling heavy bags, which will include concentrates, drinks, edibles, and pre-rolled joints.
Meanwhile, for their strains, it’s different per state and currently available only in Nevada, California, and Colorado. The strains will become available to other states in the near future.
Also, if you’re a fan of Mike Tyson and their products, you can buy merchandise from their store to show your support. They sell hoodies, shirts, and TerpKoolers.
It’s estimated that the company earns around $500,000 to $1 million a month.
Mike Tyson Edible
Although the weed company isn’t active on Twitter, the announcement regarding the edibles was the company’s first tweet.
But it was Greg Baroth’s tweet that made rounds on the social media platform.
Many Twitter users have reacted with laughing emojis or thought it was funny, knowing the history behind the edibles. At the same time, people are hoping that Holyfield will get a cut (or bit) of the edibles.
Tyson has already tasted edible, and he approves of it. And he even takes a jab at the taste of the ears since it seems it must taste better than Holyfield’s.
Holyfield and Tyson: Their History
Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield fought twice in the ring. In their first match in 1996, Holyfield won after 11 rounds. But it was the second fight a few months later that was more controversial. As said previously, Tyson bit Holyfield’s ear, which led to his disqualification.
He was eventually fined by the Nevada State Athletic Commission and had to pay $3 million but was allowed to apply for his license to box again in Nevada.
Tyson revealed to Jim Gray of Fox News that he wanted to bite off his ear because he lost consciousness and his fight plan went out the door when he bumped his head. He even said that he wanted to kill his opponent at that time. Although when a chunk of Holyfield’s ear was taken, points were deducted from Tyson’s score. It was the second time he bit Holyfield’s other ear that caused his eventual disqualification.
Holyfield doesn’t hold a grudge against Tyson biting off his ear. He even says he was “glad” about what happened. Plus, he says that he already forgave the former heavyweight boxer.
In 2006, both boxers had met again, but not for a fight. Instead, it was an advertising campaign for Foot Locker. The ad shows Tyson knocking on Holyfield’s mansion, appearing remorseful over what had happened almost 25 years ago. He even apologized in the video and presented the other former boxer his “ear” in a box. Tyson joked that he kept that in formaldehyde, and the two men made up by hugging it out.
Where to Buy the Mike Tyson Mike Bites Edible?
