Mike Tyson took weed hours before his bout against Andrew Golota in 2000 and despite defeating his opponent via round three knockout, the decision was overturned and declared a no contest after he tested positive of the herb.
He is also looking to advance research of the benefits of marijuana, specifically CBD, which has no psychoactive properties and is use to treat inflammatory ailments.
It also stands to be a lucrative business for Tyson, with the sales of legal marijuana estimated to reach $24.5billion by 2021, according to Forbes.
