    Does Holyfield get part of the royalties? It was his ear after all.

      I swear he partnered with Holyfield and did a few photoshoots for the product launch.

      Although the proceeds from OJ Simpson’s book where he describes his murders now go to the family of Ron Goldman, one of his victims.

      Some would say Holyfield got what was coming to him given how he liked to use his head as a weapon.

      Some, not me though.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Former world heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson is hoping to deliver a knockout blow with his new cannabis product - edibles in the shape of nibbled ears.

    The bizarre products are a nod to when Tyson infamously bit off part of the ear of his opponent Evander Holyfield in their WBA Heavyweight Championship bout in Nevada in 1997.

    The edibles have been released by Tyson 2.0 - a cannabis company founded by the iconic boxer known as “Iron Mike”.

    Stu Zakim, a publicist for the cannabis dispensary The Travel Agency in Union Square, told the New York Post: "They’re honouring this convicted rapist and wife beater as a role model.

    Tyson’s 1997 bout against Holyfield, the second time they had met in the ring, became known as The Bite Fight following Iron Mike’s act of partial cannibalism.

    Earlier this month he announced he will be fighting YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in a bout that will be shown live on Netflix later this year.
