    I fixed the TL:DR

    Former world heavyweight boxing champion and convicted rapist Mike Tyson is hoping to deliver a knockout blow with his new cannabis product - edibles in the shape of nibbled ears.

    The bizarre products are a nod to when Tyson infamously bit off part of the ear of his opponent Evander Holyfield in their WBA Heavyweight Championship bout in Nevada in 1997 like that isnt an absolutely psychotic thing to do that any normal person would have gone to jail for, especially as a repeat violent offender.

    The edibles have been released by Tyson 2.0 - a cannabis company founded by the iconic boxer known as “Iron Mike” also as “The defendant”

    Stu Zakim, a publicist for the cannabis dispensary The Travel Agency in Union Square, told the New York Post: "They’re honouring this convicted rapist and wife beater as a role model. (didnt have to fix shit here…)

    Tyson’s 1997 bout against Holyfield, the second time they had met in the ring, became known as The Bite Fight following Iron Mike’s act of partial cannibalism. (Or here)

    Earlier this month he announced a fixed fight with general piece of shit attention whore Jake Paul in a fixed fight that will be shown live on morally bankrupt platform Netflix later this year.

    I’d rather learn he knocked out Logan Paul. Not paying for it though, Logan Paul is a POS with more money than brains. So at least $5.
