Early last week Barcelona announced that they would be selling the naming rights to their home ground since 1957, Camp Nou.

Now it’s revealed that Mike Tyson’s company may be the one to land the contract.

The Heavyweight legend along with his business partner Alki David wish to name the stadium Swissx Stadium after their cannabis company.

Speaking to BBC Sport, Alki said, “It’s something we’ve specifically been looking for to adopt in our company and it seemed like an amazing idea.

“My company is a cannabis company and Spain has a long tradition within the European Union as being a leader or a liberal in the road towards legalisation, so it’s evolved quite naturally.”

Some have already raised objections over aligning the club’s reputation with a cannabis company and whether that poses any long term risks. David Alki says “that remains to be seen. The world is born on ideas.”

It’s understood that the new name will come into effect for the 2020/21 season.
