Mike Tyson’s latest venture into the cannabis world just landed a new blow, this time exclusively in Colorado, and the backstory is as wild as the man himself. On August 20th, Tyson 2.0 dropped “Mike’s Knockout Gummies,” THC-infused edibles shaped like boxing gloves—because Colorado’s cannabis laws knocked out his original idea.
Back in 2022, Tyson made headlines with “Mike Bites,” ear-shaped gummies that cheekily referenced the infamous 1997 fight where Tyson bit off a chunk of Evander Holyfield’s ear. Those gummies were a hit—except in Colorado. Here’s the kicker: Colorado’s cannabis laws, aimed at protecting children, strictly ban THC edibles shaped like humans, animals, or fruit. So, in the Centennial State, Tyson’s ear gummies never saw the light of day.
Fast forward to now, and Tyson is back with a product that’s fully compliant with Colorado’s regulations. “Mike’s Knockout Gummies” are made with full-spectrum rosin and are designed to pack a punch—both in THC content and in symbolic value. These little boxing gloves are a nod to Tyson’s iconic career and his ability to reinvent himself, even when the law comes swinging.
“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,” Tyson said in a statement that oozes his trademark bravado.
But this isn’t just about gummies. It’s about Tyson’s ever-expanding cannabis empire. Since 2021, Tyson’s line of cannabis flower and pre-rolls has been making waves in Colorado’s dispensaries. Now, with these new gummies on the shelves at spots like Jars Dispensaries, Cookies on Broadway, and Police and Thieves, Tyson is proving he’s still got the power to make an impact—inside and outside the ring.
And because this is Tyson, of course, there’s a spectacle to go along with it. The launch of these gummies coincides with the upcoming bout between Tyson and YouTuber Jake Paul, complete with giveaways and promotions through Seven Point Distributors. It’s classic Tyson: part showman, part businessman, and all fighter.
So if you’re in Colorado and looking for a knockout experience, Tyson’s latest gummies might be just the thing to satisfy your cravings—just don’t expect any ears.
