MIKE TYSON is flogging edibles shaped like bitten ears – a nod to his infamous bite on Evander Holyfield – in New York weed shops.
Iron Mike, 57, has entered the marijuana industry since hanging up his gloves.
Tyson has a huge 40-acre cannabis ranch in California and is said to make £500,000 a month from his dope empire.
Marijuana for recreational purposes was legalised in New York State in 2021.
Former heavyweight champ Tyson has since got his Mike Bites product stocked in stores in Greenwich Village, Brooklyn, Syracuse and Farmingdale.
And ahead of his summer bout with Jake Paul, natove New Yorker Tyson is set for a huge promotional push.
According to the New York Post, Iron Mike is set to hold a promotional event in Times Square next month.
A statement from Tyson read: “Growing up in Brooklyn, I could have never imagined a time when cannabis would be legally utilised to enhance both mental and physical well-being.
“Yet, here we are, witnessing the incredible progress.
“New York, we still have improvements to make in expanding access to this plant-based wellness, but together, I’m confident we will forge a new standard of excellence, prioritising safety, quality and taste to ensure unparalleled experiences.”
Tyson infamously bit Holyfield’s ear during their rematch for the WBC heavyweight title in 1997.
Mike Bites, in homage to the incident, can be bought in a variety of different flavours including watermelon black eye berry and sour apple punch.
