He began his career with nineteen consecutive knockouts; he won his first thirty-seven fights and was the heavyweight champion of the world at the ripe age of twenty years old. It's needless to say that he is one of the biggest names in the world of boxing.

The former heavyweight champion will return to the ring this weekend for an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr.

Before the pair get into the ring, Tyson has been getting well and truly shredded - celebrating with a rather unconventional feast... Jones' ear. And the video has had quite a reaction.

Now, of course, Tyson's life hasn't been easy especially following his defeat to James Buster Douglas in 1990...

And this was ultimately the path leading to the end of his boxing career.

His behavior lost him a lot of respect in the sport...

After a series of mishaps in his life - serving a prison sentence for sexual assault and biting off a components ear, just to name a few - a lot of people argued that Tyson had lost his game, despite remaining the heavyweight champion of the world.

He hung up the boxing gloves in 2005...

And this was the last time Tyson stepped into the ring.

He has been criticized heavily in the past...

Tyson's lavish and outlandish lifestyle choices were often met with scrutiny. He has also battled with alcohol and opiate addictions throughout his life and has admitted to being under the influence during many of his big fights.

This resulted in the boxer declaring for bankruptcy...

And he had a mountain of debt to shift through.

But Tyson began turning his life around.

After years of substance abuse, Tyson now admits to using medicinal marijuana to relieve his muscle pain. Having found his new passion, in 2016, the heavyweight champion launched "Tyson Holistic," which sells a number of marijuana products and merchandise.

He wanted to educate people on the healing properties of cannabis.

After years of using opiates to treat his pain, Tyson is now heavily-invested in the use of CBD as his primary pain relief method. In an interview, Tyson explained, "I’ve been fighting for over 20 years, and my body has a lot of wear and tear. I had two surgeries and I used marijuana to calm my nerves, and it would take the pain away … But before, they had me on those opiates, and those opiates had me all screwed up".

And he believes that cannabis can cure other drug addictions.

Tyson credits the use of CBD and medicinal marijuana for helping him to conquer his opiate addiction. Tyson Holistics now invests in a number of different companies that use CBD in their products, as well as developing and launching their own cannabis-oriented brands.

Introducing: Tyson Ranch.

One year on from the launch of Tyson Holistics, "Tyson Ranch" was born.

The resort has been described as a holistic center for health and wellness...

Though it isn't fully built yet, Mike Tyson has claimed that this will be his marijuana empire... and we don't expect anything less.

Though it seems his boxing days aren't quite over yet...

As he's set to step into the ring once more for an exhibition match against former 4-division world champion, Roy Jones.

And, ahead of this weekend's match...

Tyson decided to get a little creative - releasing a new video, titled "Thanksgiving with the Tysons," with a bit of a Roy Jones Jr twist.

And it's safe to say...

Reactions came in strong.

In the clip, Tyson and his family are presented with a cake of Jones' head.

Tyson then says: "Well, I like ears," before serving parts of the boxer’s face to the children. "Mmm, real good. Tastes so much better than Evander’s."

This is of course in reference to the infamous moment against Evander Holyfield in 1997, when he bit off a chunk of his ear.

At least he's got a sense of humor, right?
