The Tyson 2.0 sativa snacks are composed of both THC and Delta-8 and Tyson says, “If I was on cannabis, I wouldn’t have bit [Holyfield’s] ear!”

For his part, Evander wasn’t pleased with the product at first. One, because he wasn’t a cannabis user and two, it was obviously a very physically and emotionally painful moment in the former champ’s life. However…

“I didn’t think it was funny at first, but then I realized Mike hadn’t been in more trouble for a while,” Holyfield told HuffPost, adding that he appreciated how Tyson was helping people with his products.

Holyfield says he had never tried any type of cannabis until Tyson gave him a sample of the edible ears.

“I wanted to make sure I got home and didn’t do anything to anyone,” he said.

“I ate it and laid down. I woke up the next morning and was like, ‘Whoa.’”

Sometimes all you have to do is try something to find out how much you might like it. No details about a specific date that these will release to the public, but Tyson’s company will be distributing Holyfield’s own line of cannabis products in 2023.
