Mike Tyson now offers fans a way to experience biting Evander Holyfield’s ear, all while enjoying a pleasant high.

The 57-year-old boxer is planning a promotional campaign for his ‘Mike Bites’ marijuana gummies that he is launching through his Tyson 2.0 brand.

These ear-shaped marijuana gummies have already been spotted at several cannabis retailers across New York State.

And yes, they are indeed shaped like an ear, one with a piece of the top torn off.

It’s a callback to Tyson’s infamous fight with Evander Holyfield in 1997, and it all comes as the 57-year-old prepares to fight Jake Paul in July.

The gummies are shaped like an ear and part of it has been bitten off: a souvenir from the Holyfield fight.

“Growing up in Brooklyn, I could never have imagined a time when cannabis would be legally used to improve physical and mental well-being,” Tyson said in a statement.

“Yet here we are, witnessing incredible progress.”

‘New York, we still have improvements to make to expand access to this plant-based wellness; But together, I am confident that we will forge a new standard of excellence, prioritizing safety, quality and taste to ensure unparalleled experiences.”

The gummies are a humorous but crude reference to the time the former undisputed champion bit off a piece of Holyfield’s ear in that fight on July 28, 1997. That move disqualified him and caused him to temporarily lose his boxing license.

According to the New York PostNot everyone in the cannabis industry is enthusiastic about Tyson’s gummies promotion, pointing to his criminal record and a 1992 conviction for raping Miss Black America contestant Desiree Washington.

‘They are honoring this convicted rapist and wife beater as a role model. “We should be using much better models,” said Stu Zakim, publicist at The Travel Agency cannabis dispensary in Union Square.
