Mike Tyson Stirs Up Berlin: The Cannabis Mogul's Unexpected Tennis Adventure
Surprise Visit of Cannabis Entrepreneur Mike Tyson in Berlin
On the green fields of Grunewald, Mike Tyson, the legendary boxer-turned-cannabis tycoon, took a seat at a tennis match. Not just any match, mind you - it was Coco Gauff, fresh-faced 18-year-old American tennis sensation, battling it out against Chinese player Wang Xinyu.
But here's the twist: Tyson wasn't there for Gauff alone. The 56-year-old heavyweight champ was there for "Mary Jane," Europe's largest cannabis industry bash. And, guess what? He doesn't disappoint, making a grand entrance with his entourage in tow.
Now, Tyson and Gauff? They're tight. The two-time Grand Slam champion boxed with her when she was only a kid, and he's been cheering her on at tournaments, like the US Open. But Berlin wasn't all about Gauff for Tyson. Nope, he's got his own cannabis farms and sells his magic green stuff in several states across the good ol' USA.
As for the match? Gauff lost 3-6, 3-6. Tyson was there with his wife Lakiha Spicer, chilling in a box, munching on ice cream. But after the first set, he and his crew bounced, leaving the Steveffi Graf Stadium with a whiff of mystery hanging in the air.
Berlin wasn't just about tennis, it seems. Stars like musicians Marius Müller-Westernhagen and basketball world champion Moritz Wagner were spotted amongst the crowd.
One star missing, though: Aryna Sabalenka. The number one player advanced to the quarterfinals, taking down Swiss player Rebeka Masarova in a heated match. But let's be real, who's counting when you've got Mike Tyson in the house?
Except, Eva Lys got knocked out early. No more German players in the tournament. Guess they're all prepping for Wimbledon, the third Grand Slam event of the year, kicking off June 30.

Enrichment Data:While Tyson attended the tennis event as a spectator, his presence in Berlin was mainly focused on his cannabis business, participating actively in the "Mary Jane" hemp fair, including sharing a joint with fans[3]. The event is one of Europe's largest cannabis industry gatherings[3].
I'm not going to be able to play tennis with Mike Tyson in Berlin, as his focus during the trip was on his sports-unrelated endeavors, such as his cannabis business. Instead, he attended a tennis match in the city to show support for a young American tennis sensation, Coco Gauff.
