Malawi has asked boxing star Mike Tyson to become the official ambassador for the country’s cannabis crop.
Malawi’s Agriculture Minister Lobin Low sent a letter to Tyson inviting him to take up the role, and said legalisation in Malawi had created new opportunities.
Tyson, a former world heavyweight champion, is an entrepreneur and has invested in a cannabis farm in the US.
But the move has been criticised by some as the former boxer was imprisoned for sex offences in the 1990s.
