Nearly 25 Years After Their Fight, Mike Tyson Describes the Taste of Evander Holyfield’s Ear

Mike Tyson has already made news headlines for launching edibles called ‘Mike bites’. These edibles are famous because they recall the infamous fight of ‘The Baddest Man on Planet’ with another heavyweight legend, Evander Holyfield. Ahead of the near completion of 25 years of this controversial bout, Tyson has caught the attention of fans by making a bold claim about Holyfield’s ear.

Recently, the 55-year-old sat down with the renowned American radio host, Alex Jones, for an exclusive interview. While discussing several recent events, Tyson picked the packet of ‘Mike Bite’ to eat.

Meanwhile, Alex gave it an interesting turn. He took the packet from Tyson’s hand, saying, “Let me do it, Let me do it. You gonna get this now.” After saying this, Alex acted as if was going to eat the whole packet and then burst out in laughter.

Later, Tyson says taking edibles in hand, “These mushrooms got him. That’s really not the product.”

While eating ‘Mike Bites’, Tyson said, “It tastes better than Evander’s.”
