EX-boxer Mike Tyson has swapped blows for tweets with Evander Holyfield, joking that his rival’s ear and new BBQ sauce would go down well together.

The former world champ tore off Holyfield’s ear during a 1997 bout – and he could not resist another jab via Twitter.

Holyfield, 49, tweeted about the launch of his Real Deal BBQ Sauce.

“My realdealbbqsauce.com will make you take a bite out of someone’s ear! Ask Mike Tyson – Luv ya bro!,” he wrote.

Tyson, 46, hit back: “Holyfield’s ear would’ve been much better with his new BBQ sauce.”

The ear attack led to Tyson’s suspension before he retired in 2006.

Iron Mike revealed last week that his one-man show, Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth, would head to Broadway after playing to packed houses in Las Vegas.
