Mike Tyson Drops New Boxing Glove Weed Gummies
Mike Tyson Launches Boxing Glove-Shaped Cannabis Gummies.
Heavyweight champion and cannabis entrepreneur Mike Tyson on Tuesday launched a new version of his weed gummies from his company Tyson 2.0, this time shaped like a boxing glove. Tyson made headlines in 2022 with his marijuana gummies shaped like an ear, a reminder of his infamous biting of Evander Holyfield’s ear in a 1997 championship bout.
However, because the ear-shaped gummies depict a portion of a person, they ran afoul of cannabis regulations in some markets including Colorado, where the new boxing gloves debuted at select dispensaries on Tuesday.
“We first delivered the Mike Bites ear shaped edibles, which took over the world,” Tyson said in a statement from the company. “These Knockout Gummies represent another step in our mission to make plant-based wellness accessible to all. Whether it be through ears or gloves, I’m always looking for new ways to connect with my fans, and I think these gummies will pack a real punch in Colorado.”
Much like his career as a professional boxer, Tyson has become an icon of the regulated cannabis industry. His company Tyson 2.0 launched in 2021 with a promise to provide the highest quality products in each regulated market it entered. In February, the company launched a line of cannabis seeds in partnership with Royal Queen seeds. In addition to becoming a global cannabis brand, Tyson 2.0 has expanded into a variety of other consumer product categories including apparel and accessories. To date, the company has a presence in 16 countries around the world.
“Carma takes pride in bringing new products to market through our various brands, and we’re thrilled to bring Mike’s Knockout Gummies to Colorado first,” said Adam Wilks, CEO of Carma HoldCo, parent company of TYSON 2.0. “Our goal is to deliver unique customer experiences through our product offerings. This launch demonstrates our commitment to innovation and our ability to adapt to different market regulations while still delivering the high-quality cannabis experiences our customers expect from TYSON 2.0.”
