The legendary pro boxer Mike Tyson got involved in a controversial incident during his infamous fight with Evander Holyfield. That contest had ended after ‘Iron’ Mike took a bite out of his opponent’s ear. ‘The Real Deal’ recently admitted that he was considering biting his rival in the face. It is one of the most horrific actions in boxing history. The matter is still talked about to this day.
Mike Tyson reveals how much he earned since that incident
Earlier this year, Mike Tyson made headlines for releasing psychoactive gummies in the shape of an ear, a nod to his rematch with Evander Holyfield. While the item has been a success all around the nation, they cannot be sold in Colorado. Despite the state being one of the most pro-cannabis areas in the United States, they passed a law in 2016 prohibiting gummies from being sold in the shape of body parts.
On the most recent episode of the “Checc’n In Podcast with Big U” Tyson talked about his entry into the cannabis industry selling ear-shaped weed gummies in an homage to the famous Evander Holyfield incident.
“I got fined 3 million for that and, I might have made 30 million since that happened,” Tyson said. “From that bite. You know how important that was for people!”
Tyson was disqualified from the match and after the fight. Before the disqualification, Tyson was complaining about illegal headbutts from Holyfield that opened up a cut above his eye. He came out of his corner without his mouthpiece in the third round, before being forced to put it back in. The bite took an inch of cartilage off of Holyfield’s ear as he shrieked in pain in the middle of the ring. The gloves that Evander Holyfield wore in the infamous match against Mike Tyson recently went under the hammer.
