Mike Tyson recently made a huge success with his Mike Bites cannabis-infused gummies. The primary idea for the gummy came from his 1997 bout with former world champion Evander Holyfield. On June 29, 1997, Mike Tyson faced Evander Holyfield at MGM Grand, Las Vegas, with the WBA World Heavyweight title on the line. Holyfield was too good for Tyson to handle that night.

While fighting Holyfield, Tyson bit him in the ring. Aggressively and with ill intentions Tyson bit the ears of Evander Holyfield. Not once but twice Tyson bit Holyfield inside the boxing ring. As a result of Tyson’s vicious biting, blood started pouring down Holyfield’s ears and it smeared him.
