      Mike Tyson lost £2.3m for biting Evander Holyfield’s ear… but wife’s amazing idea saw him recoup the money

      by

      MIKE TYSON was fined £2.3million for infamously biting Evander Holyfield’s ear – but he found a brilliant way to recoup it back. Tyson disgracefully sunk his teeth into Holyfield’s ear in their 1997 rematch, a year after losing the first fight in 11 rounds.

In retirement, the two made up and became friends while Tyson went on to build a cannabis empire. He sells products like vapes and edibles, with one amazingly shaped on Holyfield’s bitten ear. And Tyson revealed the idea to sculpt the edible on Holyfield’s chewed off ear came from his wife Lakiha Spicer. READ MORE IN BOXINGHe told Forbes: “My wife is a nut, but she’s brilliant. And she said, ‘Why don’t you use the ear?'”‘Get out of here,’. “I was a little bitter because the ear got me in a lot of trouble.”Tyson, 57, joked how he and Holyfield, 61, are still profiting from their “bite fight” almost three decades later. He said: “You know what’s funny? When I bit Holyfield’s ear, they took $3million from me.

      Yes, boxing’s youngest heavyweight champ of all time – just 20 when he achieved the feat – is preparing to lace them up again.
      He faces YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul on July 20 in Texas.
      The controversial clash – set for the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Dallas – has been scrutinised over the 30-year age gap.
      Tyson will be 58 by the time the fight for the ages comes around and nearly 20 years removed from his last professional contest.
      He was last seen in the ring in November 2020 for an exhibition with fellow legend Roy Jones Jr, which ended a draw after eight rounds.
      Paul is meanwhile 9-1 in the ring, losing only to Tommy Fury in 2023, and has won three times since.
      His fight with Tyson will also be a landmark first on Netflix, with over 250MILLION subscribers able to watch the bout.

      Asked why, he explained: “Discipline. You know discipline, doing what you love to do, what you love to do, doing what you hate to do but doing it like you love it.”You know, I hate not being able to smoke, I’m doing it like I love it. I hate not not being able to sleep with my wife but I’m doing it like I love it.”During Tyson’s volatile heyday, he is said to have enjoyed having sex in his locker room only moments before fighting.That is despite the long-standing belief in boxing that abstinence helps boost testosterone which is why several restrain from sex while training.And Tyson – who married his third wife in 2009 – once admitted to smoking £33,000 worth of weed a MONTH.He was last seen in the ring in 2020 for an exhibition drawn over eight rounds with fellow great Roy Jones Jr.Meanwhile Paul is 9-1 as a boxer who suffered his only defeat to Tyson Fury’s brother Tommy in February 2023.READ MORE SUN STORIESBut he has won three since and vowed to put friendship aside to score the biggest win of his career against Tyson.Paul, 27, said on DAZN: “Uncle Mike, I love you, you’re looking amazing but there can only be one winner and I’m sorry but I’ve got to end you.”Tyson married Lakiha Spicer in 2009Credit: GettyJake Paul and Mike Tyson facing offCredit: @jakepaul More

      WHEN Annie Kilner and Lauryn Goodman both attend the Euros this summer it could be the most awkward run-in in Wag history.
      Forget the game, this has the potential to be far more interesting.
      It’s shaping up to be the most raucous event since the 2006 Wags were dancing on the tables of Baden-Baden.
      There is only one person to blame for this drama and that is Kyle himself.
      I sympathise with Annie as she’s just given birth.
      And Lauryn has every right to go to the Euros because she has children with Kyle.
      If he was to score a goal or be man of the match you would want your child to be there to say they saw that.
      But I can only see this unravelling further.
      This very sorry affair will surely go global. I can imagine a documentary or even a movie being made.
      Whatever you think about footballers and their wives, people are gripped.
      This could get bigger than handbags at dawn or, dare I say, Wagatha Christie.

      A spokesperson for Kyle said: “Lauryn continues to pursue wild and untrue stories whilst Kyle and Annie attempt to move forward away from any drama.“All comments are being dealt with privately and through the proper legal channels as the couple do not wish to engage in further public dispute, particularly where children are involved.” Yesterday Kyle captained Manchester City in their 1-0 win over Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley.Prem stars won’t know what’s hit them’, as wronged pair Lauryn Goodman & Rita Johal set for TV show about life of WAGSSources close to the player said: “Kyle categorically did not invite Lauryn, or any member of her family, to the Euros. “He is fully focused on taking his country all the way to picking up the trophy. He is grateful for all the support.”READ MORE SUN STORIESSources say Annie has sought legal advice over some of Lauryn’s posts, with a view that they could be harassment.

We have to step out there.”We can’t let him shoot because he was so free. “It wasn’t anything we haven’t trained before. The closest player to the ball has to step out.
