Foot Locker's Week Of Greatness 2013: All Is Right

 

This bizarre new advert from Footlocker shows Mike Tyson giving old rival Evander Holyfield his ear back in a gift box.

In the video Tyson is filmed turning up at Holyfield's home and apologizing for biting part of his ear off - a reference to an infamous incident during a fight between the pair in 1997.

After saying sorry "Iron Mike"explains that he has kept Holyfield's ear in formaldehyde.

In another scene, former NBA starDennis Rodman is shown asking for a one way plane ticket to North Korea, sparking wild celebrations among passengers and airport staff.

The advert is part of an advetising campaign by Footlocker which the firm has labelled "the Year of Greatness 2013."

Whatever the advert's objective - it shows that Tyson, Holyfield and Rodman, three of the great figures of their sports - all have a sense of humour.
