JAKARTA - Mike Tyson made headlines after biting Evander Holyfield's ear in a fight that took place 25 years ago. Now, 'Iron' Mike says he's not a big fan of The Real Deal's ear taste.

In a radio interview with Alex Jones, Tyson was chewing on one of the popular 'Mike Bites', marijuana gum, which took the shape of a bitten Holyfield ear.

"It tastes better to Evander's ears," Tyson joked about the treat.

"Evander Holyfield's ears tasted like dirt."

During a 1997 WBA world heavyweight title fight, Tyson suddenly bit Holyfield's ear in the third round.

"In the third round, with Holyfield dominating the fight, Tyson's bite occurred," wrote lvaro Roca, of MARCA, describing the incident.

Tyson was fined a point, but in the next round, and to the public's surprise, he lunged like a hungry beast into his opponent's ear.

"At that point, the referee ended the embarrassment by disqualifying Mike Tyson."

"If he did what he did to be bitten, I would bite him again, yes," Tyson said in 2020.

"I bit him because I wanted to kill him. I was really mad that he hit me on the head and all.

"It took me out of my fight plans and everything. Look, for better or for worse, I'm not going to let anyone take my glory away."
