Boxing legends and former rivals Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield are teaming up to launch a line of cannabis-infused edibles called 'Holy Ears', translated to 'Orelhas Sagradas' in Portuguese.
The collaboration was announced on Monday, November 14, and comes 25 years after the infamous heavyweight championship bout, in which Tyson was disqualified for biting a piece of Holyfield's ear.
Mike Tyson ventured into the cannabis business in 2018 when he founded 'Tyson Holistic'. Earlier this year, the former boxer had already introduced ear-shaped cannabis chewing gum to the market, called 'ear-ies'.
The Holy Ears products will be available online starting this month and in stores in Arizona, Illinois, Nevada, and New Jersey. They will be offered in THC, Delta 8, and other hemp cannabinoid varieties.
In an interview with 'Huff Post', Holyfield shared that initially he was not fond of the idea of commercializing a product that recalled the 1997 incident. However, he eventually accepted Mike's proposal.
