The notorious 1997 “Bite Fight” between Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield made them bitter enemies, but today, the two former heavyweight champions have reconciled and become business partners. They have capitalized on their infamous history by launching a cannabis product called “Holy Ears,” shaped like Holyfield’s ear, the part Tyson bit during their fight.
With their 27-year-old rivalry now behind them, Tyson and Holyfield are preparing for a “legends meet-up” ahead of Tyson’s upcoming fight against Jake Paul, scheduled for November 15.
The recent meet-up of Tyson and Holyfield has already generated excitement among fans, especially ahead of Tyson’s press conference for the Jake Paul fight on August 18. Whether Holyfield will join Tyson at the presser remains uncertain, but their joint appearance has created a buzz. Fans were thrilled to see both boxing legends make a grand entrance together, reminiscing about their iconic history in the sport.
Holyfield shared footage of the meet-up on Instagram, captioning it “Setting the tone.” Tyson, dressed casually, and Holyfield, sporting a leather jacket, arrived at the event with a swagger reminiscent of their glory days.
The hip-hop soundtrack added flair to their entrance, making it a memorable moment for fans. While the details of the “meet-up” remain unclear, Tyson’s upcoming press conference and fight against Jake Paul are highly anticipated.
Tyson will face Jake Paul at the Fanatics Fest in NYC, with the press conference hosted by Ryan Clark and featuring Peyton Manning as a special guest. The event will be live-streamed on Most Valuable Promotions and Netflix’s YouTube page. Fans of Tyson and Holyfield are excited to see these legends back in the spotlight, sparking memories of their electrifying boxing careers.
Fans expressed their joy at seeing Tyson and Holyfield together again, with many recalling the impact the two fighters had during their era.
Despite their past rivalry, fans appreciated their current friendship, with some even making humorous references to the infamous “bite fight.” One fan joked, “They get together once a ear,” while another admired their powerful entrance, describing it as “Real mafioso” style. The meet-up reignited fond memories of their legacy in boxing.
