Iron Mike is sinking his teeth into the marijuana industry.
Boxing legend Mike Tyson is selling a new line of cannabis gummies shaped like a bitten ear in a nod to his most notorious moment in the ring.
The former world heavyweight champion fighter — who chomped a chunk of Evander Holyfield’s ear off during a bout in 1997 — has launched an edible pot product called Mike’s Bites, according to a tweet from his company.
“Holy ears! They’re finally here! Go get your Mike Bites now,” his firm, Tyson 2.0, posted in a tweet Tuesday, along with a photo of the gummies.
Tyson, 55, and Holyfield discussed the idea in a 2019 video, though it’s unclear if Holyfield will get a cut of the profits, according toWorld Boxing Reports.

Holyfield replied, “Well, I could do that.”
The hungry-for-a-win boxer’s license was revoked and he was fined more than $3 million after he chomped down on Holyfield’s ear during the WBA Heavyweight Championship fight in 1997.
