Recently, the boxer turned business mogul took to an interview to promote his company Tyson 2.0, which produces edibles in the shape of ears called ‘Mike Bite’.
Notably, ‘Mike Bite’ is a sensational product launched by Tyson’s company that recalls the infamous bout of the 90s between Mike Tyson and former four-time world heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield.
While interacting, the host asked ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ how did ‘The Real Deal’ respond to these edibles? Moreover, the host emphasized the share of Holyfield in the profit.
Interestingly, the 55-year-old came up with a bold response. ‘Iron Mike‘ said, “I don’t know how he respond. This is, um, I don’t know. This is an easy stage of just starting. I don’t know. It’s technically not his ear. So I don’t think so.”

Tyson replied, “Well, yes I am.”
