"With Mike Bites, cannabis fans around the world can experience the same wellness benefits that plant-based products have brought me," says retired professional boxer and global icon Mike Tyson, Co-Founder and Chief Brand Officer of TYSON 2.0, the maker of Mike Bites Delta 8 and Delta 9 gummies.

Hailed as one of the greatest heavyweight champions in boxing history, Mike Tyson's name echoed through boxing arenas like thunder. Iron Mike was revered for his lightning-fast knockouts and ferocious demeanor inside the ring, winning his first 19 professional fights via knockout. From claiming his first heavyweight belt at the tender age of 20, to becoming the youngest heavyweight champion in history, Tyson's ascent seemed unstoppable. He followed that up by becoming the inaugural heavyweight boxer to concurrently hold the WBA, WBC, and IBF championships, as well as the first to win them consecutively.
