And it looks like Tyson was forced to recreate the iconic moment by YouTube sensation Logan Paul, who made Tyson bite a bizarre object.

Paul posted a video online featuring Tyson, which started off with footage of the ear-bite incident back in 1997.

Paul appears in the video and stated that he has a crazy plan ahead. “My plan is going to be simply this. I have this crazy idea could you put this f***ng ear in your mouth.” said Paul and showed a pack of plastic ears in the camera.

He then gave Tyson the ear who seemed confused by all this, “what is this a ear? a p**y? What is this?” Tyson asked Paul, who then told Iron Mike to put the fake ear in his mouth, “hold this ear in the mouth, and it’s just a headshot.” said Paul. The Maverick then took some photos of Tyson.

It turns out the photos were going to be a part of Paul’s NFT project, the 99 Originals. The Maverick looked at the photos to choose the best one, but Paul didn’t seem to like any of them. However, luckily for him, he also took a photo of Tyson holding one of his pigeons and decided that it would be a part of his ’99 Originals’.

The photo was number #31 of the project and was named Mike Tyson’s Pigeons. Its holder would receive a physical copy of the polaroid and an NFT as well along with membership and voting rights in the project. Moreover, the piece was sold for 22 Ethereum or $44,000 at an auction.
