Mike Tyson, who was once the youngest boxer to win a heavyweight title, is returning to the boxing ring Saturday for a highly anticipated showdown against Roy Jones Jr.
In preparation for his highly anticipated showdown, Tyson, 54, posted a video of him and his kids eating a cake shaped as Jones' head. Tyson even sliced off the “ear” of the cake and ate it, paying homage to his most infamous moment in the ring against Evander Holyfield back in 1997, where he bit a chunk of his ear off.
“Tastes so much better than Evander’s,” Tyson said in the YouTube video entitled “Thanksgiving with the Tysons.”
