Mike Tyson, the youngest Heavyweight champion, is the paragon of boxing. However, his persona doesn’t curtail him just with the boxing genre. This is because of the multifaceted ventures of ‘Iron Mike.’ As famous, Tyson has a podcast, Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson, and entered the marijuana industry in 2016. Since then, he has developed various cannabis products. Furthermore, according to predictions, ‘ Kid Dynamite’ will earn $160 million from his business ventures.

However, Mike’s ventures aren’t just limited to money-making. This is because he runs “Mike Tyson Cares,” a social welfare program. The foundation aims to better the lives of low-income communities. It focuses on raising funds, aiding the homeless, creating educational programs, and combating social injustice. So, recently, he joined hands with Michael Jackson’s son’s foundation, Heal LA, by sponsoring a fitness program for needy children. Moreover, his initiative didn’t escape his fans’ glance.
