Have you wondered how this happened?

After officially retiring from the sport, the legend is exercising the business mogul inside him. In the process, he has started a new company that is producing edibles. This is not controversial, but the shape of the edible is what has made the headlines.

Chiefly, the shape of the edible portrays an ear, which is trimmed at the top. This reminds fans of ‘Iron’ Mike‘s bite on Evander Holyfield’s ear.

A social media personality, Greg Baroth, informed on Twitter, “Mike Tyson’s w**d company is making edibles in the shape of an ear. Genius.”

He also added in it, “Mike Bites have landed in California.”
