Mike Tyson Says Evander Holyfield's Ear Tasted Horrible

The days of scary Iron Mike Tyson are long gone, but goofy, lovable Mike Tyson is far more fascinating and enchanting.

Tyson gave a very candid interview to Fuel TV’s Ariel Helwani. The two discussed a whole lot of boxing issues, the juiciest of them all was when Mike was asked how Evander Holyfield’s ear tasted like.



Of course we all remember that Tyson gnawing off chunks of Holyfield’s ear and getting disqualified in the unforgettable 1997 heavyweight fight. Well Tyson did not avoid the question and quickly responded, “It tasted like sh*t. There’s some guys out there who eat human flesh. It’s horrible.”



There you have it, human ears are not very delicious.

However Tyson added, “Evander, he promotes a hot sauce now, and if I had that hot sauce that ear would have tasted a lot better.”



At the end of the interview Mike gives some pearls of wisdom for everyone, “My advice, try not to bite anyone’s ears, guys. Please.” Knowing is half the battle.
