Mike Tyson continues to innovate in his role as an entrepreneur and this Tuesday announced the launch of a new product: Mike Bites. These are cannabis chewy gummies that have the shape of bitten ears, in a clear nod to his remembered aggression on the ring against Evander Holyfield. The former boxer announced the sale of that kind of treat with which he hopes to raise millions.
The former heavyweight champion of the world has long advocated the legalization of cannabis and launched his own brand of marijuana products in October 2020. In addition, he has been leading a cultivation project in California for several years that has made him a leader of the movements that fight for decriminalization and legalization. of the consumption, possession and sale of marijuana.
The product is clearly inspired by the bite Tyson gave Evander Holyfield on the ring in the match held in 1997, in one of the most memorable and controversial episodes in the history of professional boxing.
One of the partners of former heavyweight champion Fred Frenchy posted a brief comment on social media about the launch of this cannabis treat: “You know we had to do this, son.” It is clear that both had been talking for a long time about taking advantage of that violent bite to generate money with some kind of product. For the time being, Mike Bites will only be available in California, although the plan will surely be to expand them across several states.
We will have to wait to see what Holyfield's reaction will be to this release, who confessed in 2020 that he had planned a revenge against Tyson, but managed to contain himself thanks to a warning prior to the historic 1997 fight. “A prophet told me, 'Mike will do something bad to you in this fight, but you must stay focused on your task. Because that's the only way he can beat you, he can catch you if he distracts you,” 'he said in dialogue with the BBC.
“I was going to bite him in the face, but when the prophet told me something like this could happen I warned my corner before fighting, 'If this guy does something to me, remind me what the prophet told me. '” This is how, when he reached his corner, his collaborators managed to calm him down and prevented a massacre in the ring that was already stained with blood.
Holyfield charged $35 million for that fight, which was finally suspended by the bite, and today he is remembered as the main counterfigure of Mike Tyson. The rivalry between the two is such that in the last time there was speculation with a possible third chapter on the ring, but there was no agreement between the parties.
