hemp empire Mike Tyson is growing. The youngest world heavyweight champion in history will now sell his cannabis products in Michigan. The Tyson 2.0 brand is already bringing in more than a million dollars a month in reportedly for the boxer, though reports to that effect are hard to verify. In any case, Iron Mike's business - once bankrupt and squandering a huge fortune - is growing fast.
Michigan joined nine other states in 2019 in legalizing recreational marijuana. Prior to this, the states of Washington, Colorado, Oregon, Alaska, Massachusetts, Maine, California, Nevada and Vermont decided to take such a step. After starting production and sales in California, the Tyson 2.0 is now present in various forms in most green states. Knockout OG and Pound for Pound Cake will now be available in Michigan.
Marijuana was a form of therapy for Tyson in the past, although smoking it in large quantities was also problematic for him - in 2000, after a fight with Andrzej Golota, marijuana was found in Mike's body, and the fight was declared void.
“This plant has changed me for the better, and now my mission is to share this gift with the people of Michigan and all other places where we can spread our message,” Tyson, 55, said in an official statement.
