In the life of "Iron Mike" a new period - hemp

Legendary boxer Mike Tyson purchased a site in California for growing marijuana, inform the media. Its area is 16 hectares.

"Iron Mike" intends not only to grow marijuana, but also to open a processing plant, as well as a store and an institution for breeding new varieties and research into the medical use of marijuana.


Note that since November 2016, residents of California over the age of 21 can freely smoke marijuana, grow, and also store a small amount of this drug.

Tyson is a great heavyweight fighter in boxing, a man of uneasy, full of contradictions and passions.

Today, Mike Tyson is almost impossible to recognize, he has changed both externally and internally. It happened for the reason that Mike Tyson is now a vegetarian.

After Mike completed his boxing career, he began to grow stout and, as a result, began to weigh more than 150 kilograms. As he himself said, his fault was his addiction to drugs. From this, he began to have problems not only with health, but also reflected on his body weight.

But still he managed to find a way out of this situation, by 2013 he dropped to 45 kilograms of his excess weight and while he was not sitting on any of the diets.

He thought about changing his life after his daughter Exodus died in May 2009, when she died in a tragic death, she was only 4 years old. The child fell awkwardly and his head hung on a cord from an electric appliance. The girl suffocated.

As Tyson himself says, at this time he felt that he himself began to die, he did not even want to live. And he began to change in himself everything that his daughter did not like.

He told reporters that vegetarianism gave him a chance to regain his health. For many years of his life, he has accumulated a sufficient amount of toxins in his body, from drugs and ending with drugs, and this all gave him no opportunity to breathe normally. High blood pressure and arthritis prevented him from living a normal full life. And after Mike Tyson did not eat meat, all the health problems receded from him.

Mike Tyson does not eat meat, and his wife helped him in this, as she knows herself in healthy eating. For half a year he ate only one tomato soup and water. What helped him to lose those extra pounds.

Now Tyson does not eat anything that could cause him to rage, that is, no meat. He wants to become a good father and just a man. According to Mike, it is much harder to become a good person than a good athlete and boxer.

Tyson is the absolute world champion in the heavyweight category among professionals (1987-1990). The world champion in the versions of WBC (1986-1990, 1996), WBA (1987-1990, 1996), IBF (1987-1990), The Ring (1988-1990). Linear Champion (1988-1990). "The most promising boxer" in 1985 according to the magazine "Ring". The best boxer, regardless of the weight category according to the magazine "Ring" (1987-1989). "Boxer of the Year" according to the magazine "Ring" (1986, 1988). Boxer of the Year by BWAA (1986, 1988).

"Iron Mike" - has three convictions. In 1992 (for a rape he was sentenced to 6 years in prison, of which he served 3), in 1998 (for beating people who ran into his car, sentenced to 3.5 months in prison) and 2008 (the day of prison for drug use and driving car in a state of drug intoxication). At a young age he was also serving sentences in the children's colonies. Married with a third marriage. Father of eight children. Confesses Islam and bears the Arabic name Malik Abdul Aziz.
