Mike Tyson is now selling cannabis edibles in the shape of Evander Holyfield's ear, paying homage to their infamous 'Bite Fight'.

When they first fought in 1996, Holyfield put on a fantastic display to achieve the upset as he stopped Tyson in the eleventh round and set up their rematch the following year.

In the second fight, all hell broke loose as Tyson twice bit Holyfield’s ear and was disqualified as a result.

The ‘Bite Fight’ made headlines around the world and remains one of the most infamous sporting moments ever seen.

Several years later, the pair made up as Tyson apologised to Holyfield.

And now Tyson is making fun of the situation 25 years on by releasing 'Mike Bites' - the latest product from his cannabis company.

They are simply a packet of small edible cannabis sweets, shaped like an ear.

Every 'Mike Bite' has a chunk missing to represent the piece of Holyfield's ear which Tyson bit off in 1997.

Not too long ago, Tyson and Holyfield even starred in a TV advert together poking fun at the 'Bite Fight'.

To celebrate the shoe-selling company’s ‘Week of Greatness’, they publicly showed their friendship in a jokey commercial.

Tyson turned up at Holyfield’s front door and said: “I’m sorry Evander.” He then held out a ring box and continued: “It’s your ear.”

Holyfield picked up the item inside and replied: “My ear.”

Tyson added: “I kept that in formaldehyde.

The pair then hugged as Holyfield thanked his old foe for the unorthodox present.
