TYSON 2.0: Goes To Alaska, New Parent Company With Ric Flair Drip, Revenue Could Triple In 2023

Mike Tyson and his company TYSON 2.0 have been busy these days, starting with a trip to Alaska where they’re expanding their global footprint via a partnership with Cold Creek Extracts, the Alaska-based CBD and THC manufacturer.

"It gives me great happiness and pride to announce the launch of TYSON 2.0 products in the state of Alaska," said Mike Tyson, chief brand officer and co-founder of TYSON 2.0. "I fully stand behind the relaxation and wellness benefits of our products which have quickly gained mass appeal. I look forward to sharing my favorite vapes and edibles with Alaskans who are looking for high times and smooth hits."

TYSON 2.0 CEO Adam Wilks is equally enthused about the partnership.
"With product quality and customer satisfaction at the core of what we do, we partnered with Cold Creek Extracts for their clean production methods without the use of butane, fake colorings, additives or harsh solvents, and their proprietary blends of naturally-derived terpenes." 

Cold Creek is also psyched about the deal. "Cold Creek Extracts is beyond excited to be working with TYSON 2.0, to bring Iron Mike's favorite products to Alaskans!" Cade Inscho, Cold Creek Extracts founder.

Starting in November, the first products to launch across Cold Creek retail partners will be vapes available in half-gram and one-gram sizes, and the famous Mike Bites edibles in Sour Apple, Watermelon and Blackberry flavors. More products from the TYSON 2.0 line will be launched in Q4 and over the course of 2023.

TYSON 2.0 THC products are available across dispensaries and retail locations in 24 states and select provinces across Canada.
