Boxing legend Mike Tyson is revealing how he spends his earnings.
During an episode of his podcast Hotboxin’, Tyson invited rapper Jim Jones on to discuss the musician’s fledging cannabis business, Saucey.
When Jones explained that it made sense for him to invest in the marijuana industry considering how often he buys the product for his own personal use, Tyson then admitted that he spends a whopping $40,000 a month on marijuana, himself.
“What do we smoke a month?” Tyson, 53, asked his co-host, Eben Britton. “Is it $40,000 a month? It’s 40, yeah, $40,000 a month.”
“We smoke 10 tons of weed at the ranch a month,” Britton added. “Ain’t that crazy?”
According to The Blast, Tyson, too, has invested in the cannabis industry, and is planning to open his very own ranch to grow high-quality strains of THC and CBD, while “implementing cutting-edge technology to advance the research on the health benefits of marijuana.”
Tyson first broke ground on the 40-acre facility, located in California City, in December.
According to The Blast, 20 acres of Tyson’s ranch is dedicated to agriculture, while another section of the grounds will be devoted to the Tyson Cultivation School, to help cannabis breeders learn the best techniques for growing their plants.
“I thought about how much good I could do by helping people with cannabis. It was a no brainer,” Tyson told Cannabis Tech Today of his business.
The Zimbabwe Football Association (Zifa) says it has banned its former president Philip Chiyangwa for life for "bringing Zimbabwean football into disrepute."
In a statement, Zifa accused Chiyangwa of "unilaterally submitting an incomplete bid document" to host this year's Cosafa Cup "without getting a government guarantee."
Zimbabwe reneged on an agreement to stage the event, with South Africa taking over as hosts.
Zifa now faces a ban and a hefty fine from Cosafa for pulling out of hosting the southern African tournament.
Chiyangwa lost his position as Zifa president last year, but is currently the president of Cosafa, the southern African regional body.
His Zifa ban, which comes into immediate effect, means he will no longer be allowed entry into all Zifa sanctioned football matches played in Zimbabwe, football meetings, conferences and any football related activity in the country.
There has been no response so far from Chinyangwa to Zifa's statement.
An Israeli air flight attendant who fell ill with measles on an El Al flight from New York to Israel has died, Israeli media say.
The 43-year-old woman became unwell on the flight in April. It is unclear where she contracted the disease.
It is the third death from measles in Israel since November, after none there for 15 years, reports say.
Measles is one of the world's most infectious illnesses but until recently cases had been declining.
The stewardess, who has not been named, suffered brain damage due to complications from the virus and had been in an induced coma, according to media reports.
The airline issued a statement, saying it was "bowing its head over the death of a member of a member of El Al's air crew", the Jewish Press reported.
The latest fatality comes after an 18-month-old toddler and an 82-year-old woman died from the disease in Jerusalem at the end of last year.
Katie Price’s latest face and eyelift looks seriously painful but that isn’t going to stop her hitting the hair salon to get her roots done.
The 41-year-old star has returned from Turkey after having more work done, including a facelift and a boob reduction, alongside fiancé Kris Boyson, who had a nose job.
But as she heals, the star’s swollen, bruised and cut face is clear to see, with the eyelift in particular leaving her eyes pulled tight.
The bloodied bandages completely surrounded her cheeks, chin and neck, with scabs forming around the edges of her ears following the procedure.
In one picture, she can be seen looking upset and wiping her face in the mirror. It’s reported that her youngest children Bunny, five, and Jett, four, were left in tears after failing to understand that the injuries were from injury – thinking someone had hurt their mum.
‘Bunny and Jett thought something awful had happened to their mum as she was covered in blood and they could see the fresh scars,’ a source told The Sun Online.

“No fewer than 20 female students had been r-ped in the last one month, while robbery attacks are on daily basis”, he said.
Some of the victims also told P.M.News that the attackers target only students living off campus.
They complained that despite repeated reports at Bori Police station, nothing has been done and students are left to their fate.
Simeon, the Speaker of Student Union Government Parliament and Manson Dumlebabari, the Chief Judge of Student Union Government of KenPoly also expressed disappointment over the situation.
They called on the Civil Rights Council to draw the attention of the Police to their suffering due to incessant robbery of students and r-pe of female students by gunmen.

Nigeria has asked China to carry out a thorough investigation into the death of Mr Joseph Nwajueze, a Nigerian Pastor living in that country.
Mrs Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman/CEO of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) made the demand in a statement on Wednesday.
She said Nwajueze’s death was condemnable.
”The alleged killing of the Anambra -born pastor, who was living with his wife, Chinwe and four children in China, should be thoroughly investigated and the culprits punished,” she said.
Nwajueze was carrying on his legitimate business in China and there was no reason for his killing, she added.
She condemned the stigmatisation of Nigerians living in China, saying that those who were found guilty of the country’s law should be prosecuted.
While condoling with the family of the late Nwajueze, Dabiri-Erewa reiterated Nigeria’s resolve to ensure that justice is done by making those responsible to face the law.
The chairman of the commission, however, appealed to irate Nigerians in China to be patient and not to take the law into their hands as the Federal Government would ensure that justice was done.
Nwajueze was allegedly killed by Chinese security operatives in circumstances suspected to be related to immigration formalities.
Sources said that the Chinese security personnel, in an attempt to apprehend the fleeing Nigerian pastor, forcefully used a device on him in order to demobilise him.
It was gathered that the device made the pastor numb, leading to his collapse and eventual death.
A mother accused of asking her girlfriend to douse her baby with gasoline and burn him to death faces being executed.
The State of Louisiana has applied for Hanna Nicole Barker, 23, to be put to death if she is convicted of the July 2018 murder of six month-old Levi Cole Ellerbe.
They filed the motion last week, just over a year after Barker was arrested and on suspicion of asking girlfriend Felicia Marie-Nicole Smith, 26, to kill Levi for her. Barker, of Natchitoches in Louisiana, claimed that Levi was kidnapped by two people who knocked on her door, sprayed her face with pepper spray then ran off.
She dialed 911 to report him missing, with a woman driving home spotting a fire on a nearby hill, next to a railroad track, an hour later.
Smith is said to have taken Levi there at Barker’s request and doused him with gas, before setting him alight and going to work at an IHOP pancake restaurant. Smith was arrested four days later and charged with first-degree murder, the Alexandria Town Talk reported.
Barker was arrested and charged with the same offense four days later.
Levi was found with third-degree burns covering 90 per cent of his body, and died the next day.
During a court hearing last September, a local Fire Marshall lieutenant told a judge that Barker and Smith were romantically involved, but that Smith was more interested in pursuing the relationship than Barker.
Barker is said to have told officials that she was only with Smith for attention and money, and that she had asked her lover to kill Levi.
Barker’s attorneys say there is no evidence to prove that allegation.
The alleged killer was on probation for drugs offenses at the time, and is said to have breached its terms by having Smith at her home.
Barker is set to go on trial in January 2020. Smith is yet to be arraigned, but is back in court later this month, with prosecutors also likely to request her execution if she is convicted.
Footballer Emiliano Sala and his pilot David Ibbotson were exposed to harmful levels of carbon monoxide before their plane crashed, it has been revealed.
They were both killed when the aircraft came down on January 21 in the English Channel.
The Air Accident Investigation Bureau said that prior to the crash the cockpit had filled with the deadly gas.
The body of Sala, 28, was recovered after being spotted inside the downed aircraft at the bottom of the English Channel.
The pilot’s body has never been found.
The Air Accident Investigations Branch (AAIB) took his body to Portland before being passed over to the Dorset coroner, who formally identified it as Sala.
Daniel Machover, of Hickman and Rose solicitors, lawyers for the Sala family, said: ‘That dangerously high levels of carbon monoxide have been found in Emiliano’s body raises many questions for the family.
‘How he died will be determined at the inquest in due course.
The family believe that a detailed technical examination of the plane is necessary.
‘The family and the public need to know how the carbon monoxide was able to enter the cabin.
Future air safety rests on knowing as much as possible on this issue.
‘Emiliano’s family call on the AAIB to salvage the wreckage of the plane without further delay,’ the lawyer said.
ASAP Rocky has broken his silence and says he hopes to ‘move forward’ after being found guilty of assault in Sweden.
The rapper was handed a suspended sentence and was ordered to pay a fine over the assault, after a fight broke out between Rocky and two men who claimed his bodyguard had broken their headphones.
ASAP and his team maintain it was in self-defence as the men refused to leave them alone.
Speaking on Instagram, he wrote: ‘I am of course disappointed by today’s verdict. I want to say thanks again to all of my fans, friends and everyone who showed me love during this difficult time.
‘Imma keep moving forward. Thank you to my team, my management, attorneys, label and everyone who advocated for justice.’
Following the incident, ASAP was held in Swedish prison, causing massive fan outcry for his release which even went as high as President Trump trying to call for his freedom. However the Swedish authorities refused for a month before he was let go.
A British mother-of-three died after she was set on fire and strangled as she lay in her bed in Barbados.
The family of Luton-born Natalie Crichlow, 44, say they are ‘shocked and devastated’ after she was attacked by an unknown intruder in her bedroom on July 28 while visiting to take care of her disabled brother.
Her niece Ashley Best has claimed the intruder broke in the house in Christ Church, before strangling her and setting her alight, leaving her with 75 per cent burns to her body.
Natalie, who had survived cancer twice and had two strokes in the past decade, died in hospital just over a week later on August 6, her family say.
Ashley said they were ‘all in a state of shock’ and did not understand why it happened.
She said: ‘For someone who had battled through so much to just be taken in this way and lose their life is just beyond understanding.
‘It is all just a shame. She said she wanted to live life to the fullest because her life had nearly been taken from her.’
Natalie, also known by the names of Natalee and Karma, had lived proudly as a gay women for a number of years. She had worked in various jobs including as door staff and as a makeup artist.
Family friend Mitra Wikes remembered her as ‘a true survivor and warrior who endured so much in life but always kept going and had a true passion for living life to the max no matter what she had gone through’.
Mitra, who said Natalie regularly visited Barbados to look after her brother after the death of her mother and uncle earlier this year, added: ‘This is why it’s so heartbreaking that her life was taken in such a cruel way.’
A spokesman for the Royal Barbados Police Force said no arrests have been made.

A five-year-old boy is the 'only person in the world' to suffer from a disease that is so rare it does not even have a name.
Ollie Lloyd has a chromosomal condition that has left him unable to walk, talk, sit or lift his head.
The youngster is also blind, has significant hearing loss in both ears and can endure up to 100 seizures a day. Doctors have been unable to give him a prognosis.
Ollie's mother Louise Lloyd, 32, is his full-time carer, while his father Steve Sadecki, 34, was forced to cut back on his job at a supermarket when he kept needing unpaid leave.
The couple, of Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, have received nearly £4,500 ($5,431) in donations from friends and strangers to help them make ends meet.
With Ollie deteriorating as he gets older, the pair are hoping to fundraise an extra £10,000 ($12,071) to help them care for their son and pay their living expenses.
Speaking of his son's condition, Mr Sadecki said: 'We've been told Ollie has a deletion on one chromosome, and a repetition on another.
'He was born with a small hole in the heart, a cleft palette, a problem with his pulmonary artery and bilateral talipes, which leaves his feet turned inwards.
'Doctors can't give us a diagnosis, or a prognosis, as he is the only person in the world with this condition.
'But when he's well, and not in pain, Ollie's a lovely little soul and even with all his problems, he's very happy and content.'
Now five years old, Ollie only sleeps for two hours a night, leaving his parents severely sleep deprived.
'We thought life would get easier [as Ollie gets older], but the opposite has happened,' Mr Sadecki said.
A family friend has set up a GoFundMe page to raise £10,000 to help them with living expenses.
'We are both quite proud people, so this wasn't easy for us to accept,' Mr Sadecki said.
'At first, when the GoFundMe page went live, I felt I couldn't leave the house to go food shopping, because people would think, "Look at him, out shopping and spending money".'
'No family in the position we're in, with such a sick child, should ever have to beg. But I'm so glad we agreed to the funding page, because it really has helped us out a lot.'

But insiders have claimed it doesn't necessarily mean their relationship - which was rekindled in late 2015, almost two years after they split for the first time - is over for good.
A source told People magazine: 'They are having a break right now because they needed it. It was a bad situation with a lot of disagreements.
