Mike Tyson’s cannabis company could be Everton’s new sponsor
CEO of Swissx, Alki David, claimed the company is in talks with Everton over becoming their new sponsor.
Earlier this week, David also expressed an interest in owning the naming rights to Barcelona’s Nou Camp.
David told Insider: “I’m not walking away from Barca, I’m keeping the door wide open. But we are now engaged with Everton to take over their shirt. The front of their shirt.
“They contacted me and have already offered designs with the whole Swissx logo in blue, which I’m not crazy about, but it will look nice.
“When I first came to England, everybody was supporting Man United and Liverpool, and everybody was red. Being contrary, I liked blue and I liked the logo so randomly I selected Everton to support. So it’s sort of a mystical come around.”

David told the BBC earlier this week that the company was interested in having the naming rights to Barcelona’s Nou Camp.
The LaLiga club announced they would sell the naming rights for the first time but denied there had been any contact with Swissx.
David added: “They are just being d****. My door is open.
Mike Tyson tells the story of his tigers
“The bottom line is they are really precious about this being a cannabis brand. But they’ve got to realise that UFC embraces cannabis, and other major sporting leagues accept cannabis.
“My brand is not a f***ing marijuana brand, it’s a wellness CBD brand based on health, not based on recreation.”
