and Ric Flair are going into business on a new cannabis line.
The boxing legend and Hall of Famer – who – have announced their joint venture as the Baddest Man On The Planet’s new Tyson 2.0 cannabis company has acquired a majority stake in Ric Flair Drip, Inc.
As noted in a press release, the deal essentially opens the door for Tyson’s company to ‘assume control of Ric Flair’s trademarks and intellectual properties to launch cannabis flower and edible products under the Ric Flair brand name in the near future’.
Flair said in a statement: ‘Thanks to Mike Tyson and Tyson 2.0, I’ve become a true cannabis advocate and enthusiast. I am thrilled to partner with a long time friend and fellow warrior whom I greatly admire and respect.
‘There are a lot of synergies between me and Mike – we’ve both had many ups and downs, but we keep going at life.
‘With Mike’s passion for cannabis, Chad and Adam’s industry knowledge, I look forward to creating cannabis products that will appeal to my national fanbase.
‘Tyson 2.0 products make me go “WOOOOO!”, and soon my fans everywhere can get in the Ric Flair state of mind – limousine riding, jet-flying, feeling good, and “WOOOOO!” ‘
As it stands, Tyson 2.0 products are available across the states of Colorado, California, Nevada, Massachusetts, and Michigan, and there are plans to expand nationally and internationally.
The company’s co-founder and chairman, Chad Bronstein, added: ‘For the last 50 years, Ric has been synonymous with high impact, high energy experiences. Similar to how we rolled out Tyson 2.0, Ric Flair cannabis products will reach nationwide distribution through our robust network of industry partners.
‘With flower strains named after Ric’s iconic sayings like “limousine riding” and “jet-flying”, we aim to honor Ric’s energy and share it with his fans.’
Meanwhile, the company is looking to make more deals in the future with other celebrity partnerships.
‘Our aim is to bring more celebrity brands to market in the coming months,’ Bronstein confirmed.
