Malawi’s agriculture ministry has written to former world heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson to be the ambassador for the country’s cannabis.
Minister Lobin Lowe said the legalisation of cannabis in 2020 had created opportunities internationally.
The ministry said the United States Cannabis Association was facilitating the deal with Tyson.
“Malawi may not go it alone as the industry is complex requiring collaboration. I would therefore like to appoint you, Mr Mike Tyson, as Malawi’s Cannabis Branch ambassador,” Mr Lowe wrote.
Tyson is also an entrepreneur and has invested in a cannabis farm.
