How HIGH can Everton go? Mike Tyson's cannabis business 'in talks with Toffees over becoming official shirt sponsor' as business partner reveals club have created designs with firm's logo

Mike Tyson's cannabis business is in talks to become Everton's front-of-shirt sponsors after the former heavyweight champion's business partner revealed discussions had taken place.

Since hanging up his gloves in 2005, Tyson has gone into business with Greek billionaire Alki David in setting up Swissx, a firm that sells cannibidiol products (CBD).

Last week, the David revealed the company were interested in bagging the naming rights of Barcelona's Nou Camp stadium, and now he has detailed talks with Everton over becoming their new sponsors after the Merseyside club dropped their lucrative deal with gambling firm SportPesa.
