A few hours ago, Mike Tyson and his Tyson 2.0, through their respective Instagram handles, announced a new line of products reportedly to promote ‘World Sleep Day’. It’s called “Night Bites”. The launch comes against the backdrop of ‘Iron’ Mike’s return to the ring.

He last fought Roy Jones Jr. three years ago. Now he will face Jake Paul at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on July 20.

The post on Instagram features a promotional video as well, starring who else but ‘Iron’ Mike.
