The former Heavyweight World Champion, Mike Tyson, who’s well known across the world for his KO power, has been successfully managing his cannabis business since 2016. A year ago, there were talks about how he was planning to build a 418-acre weed-themed resort, for people to spend their holidays. And except for the luxury hotel, at the same time, he has been planning to open a Tyson University which will primarily teach the young farmers about cannabis cultivation. After boxing, Tyson is definitely on the road to being a successful businessman.
