Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield team up to release new ear bite cannabis edibles with funny video advert

Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield are going into business together to sell cannabis edibles which pay homage to their iconic '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 meeting, 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 in history.

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

Now, they are business partners as well.

Together, 25 years on, the pair are releasing ‘Holy Ears’ – small edible cannabis sweets, shaped like ears.

Every ‘Holy Ear’ has a chunk missing to represent the piece of Holyfield’s actual ear which Tyson bit off in 1997.

The heavyweights have appeared in a funny advert together to promote the product this Christmas.

In the video, they have a jokey argument over what Holyfield's ears taste like, with Tyson ultimately insisting: "I ate your ear, I should know."

In a statement, Tyson said: "It's a privilege to reunite with my former opponent and now long-time friend, and turn years of fights and knockouts into a partnership that can make a positive impact and heal people."

In a joint interview together with FOX, Tyson added: "If I was on cannabis, I would’ve never bit his ear!"
