Holyfield was the victor after Tyson was disqualified for BITING a chunk of his opponent’s ear off.

There was no love lost between the fighters after the unbelievable incident.

But now, two and a half decades later, they have come together in the name of business.

Tyson, 56, is no stranger to the game – owning a cannabis empire.

Earlier this year he released “Mike Bites” – an ear shaped edible cannabis sweet in a nod to his rematch with Holyfield.

And now his opponent from that infamous night is getting involved himself.

The pair have come together to record a promo for their product.

And speaking to the Huffington Post, Tyson said: “If I was on cannabis, I wouldn’t have bit [Holyfield’s] ear!”

Holyfield, 60 added: “I didn’t think it was funny at first, but then I realised Mike hadn’t been in more trouble for a while.”

Until the collaboration, Holyfield had never tried the product.

On his first experience of sampling it, he said: “I wanted to make sure I got home and didn’t do anything to anyone.

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