Mike Tyson's "KO Kush" has received the Conor McGregor stamp of approval.
Tyson, who broke ground on a 40-acre ranch in California nearly one year ago, now grows his own recreational marijuana, including a strain called "KO Kush," which he recently shared with the UFC superstar. Over the weekend, McGregor shared a few photos of he and Iron Mike smoking a joint of his home-grown strain along with a lengthy caption in which McGregor spoke about his respect for the boxing legend, burying the hatchet and staying "switched on."
The post reads:
I went to see Mike Tyson last night in the Helix, Dublin, Ireland. I love and respect Mike Tyson. And I love the Helix. I won my first World Title here, and also my second. It was good to meet you Mike.
You spoke some things about me in the past which I did not like and I was happy to speak to you face to face, put it to bed and have some fun. You are in good spirits and I was happy to see this! I will always have the height of respect for you!
Some decisions you have made around your finances I do not agree with. As a fighter you must fight here. The most. And this is a fight that never ends. It is even a fight that we pass on to our next in line. Our blood line. Make sure you stay switched on with those around you at all times. You have good people around you now, I can tell. But stay switched on.
Your Marijuana strain that you grow on your own ranch “KO Kush” is really nice. It was an honour to taste it and I wish you and your team all the best with this endeavor.
Just remember, if someone tries to rip you. Rip their nose off their face. You are a fighting icon and deserve endless love and respect! And from me, you will always have it! Don’t let anyone take anything from you. You owe nobody nothing. It is you who is owed. Always remember that. I love you Mike! Iron Mike Tyson!
Tyson was critical of McGregor aka "McConor" prior to his boxing match against Floyd Mayweather last August. During an appearance on Barstool Sports' "Pardon My Take" podcast, Tyson had said, "I got mad because I thought they were going to use MMA rules against boxing because that's what it's all about: Can the boxer beat the MMA guy? McConor put his dumb ass in a position where he's gonna get knocked out because this guy has been doing this all his life since he was a baby. McConor can't kick and grab and stuff, so he won't stand much of a chance."
However, after hashing it out over some KO Kush, it appears they're all good now.
