Nearly 30 years on, the boxing world still remembers Mike Tyson‘s infamous ear bite of Evander Holyfield.

The fight took place in June 1997 and was a highly-anticipated rematch, after Holyfield had beaten Tyson by 11th round stoppage to win the WBA heavyweight title seven months earlier.

This time the fight only reached the third round, when ‘Iron Mike’ saw red and bit a chunk out of the ear of Holyfield, resulting in a disqualification.

Tyson’s boxing license was subsequently revoked by the Nevada State Athletic Commission and he was fined 3 million dollars due to his actions in the ring, though his license was later reinstated after an appeal.

Boxing trainer and legendary analyst Teddy Atlas worked with Tyson during the early stages of his career, and so knows better than most what may be running through the head of ‘Iron Mike.’

The former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson revealed he spends $40,000 (£33,000) a month on weed.

Tyson was in conversation with his co-host and former NFL player Eben Britton on his Hotboxin’ podcast in 2019, saying he smokes around $40,000 of cannabis a month at his ranch in Southern California.

This works at around 120 tonnes of weed per year.

Iron Mike then posses the question ‘is that crazy?’, in which guest for the show, rapper Jim Jones, couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

Fans have reacted to Tyson’s confession on twitter with a variety of different opinions.

The wildfires raging across Los Angeles have caused unprecedented destruction, claiming at least five lives and forcing over 130,000 residents to flee their homes.

In a heartfelt message shared on his Instagram, Tyson, 58, offered a helping hand to those impacted by the wildfires. Known for his connection to Los Angeles, where he has spent much of his life, Tyson expressed his solidarity with the city.
