In a stunning twist that has rocked the boxing world, the two giants of the ring, Floyd Mayweather and Mike Tyson, have signed up for an exhibition fight set to electrify fans in the spring of 2026! The exact date and place are still cooking, but the buzz is already unbearable. Tyson, who is 59, and Mayweather, now 49, officially agreed to this mind-blowing matchup promoted by CSI Sports/Fight Sports. When asked about this mega event, Mike Tyson poured out his amazement, saying, “This fight is something neither the world nor I ever thought would or could happen. Boxing has entered a new era of the unpredictable — and this fight is as unpredictable as it gets.” Adding more spice, Tyson shared his surprise that Mayweather accepted, saying, “I still can’t believe Floyd wants to really do this. It’s going to be dangerous for his health, but he wants to do it, so it’s signed and it’s happening.” Tyson is no stranger to the limelight, having fought recently in November 2024 against Jake Paul, grabbing the attention of more than 108 million viewers. Though he last fought professionally back in 2005, Tyson’s name still packs a powerful punch. On the other corner, Floyd Mayweather, famously unbeaten at 50-0 in professional fights, retired as a legend after beating Conor McGregor in 2017. Famous as “The Best Ever,” he’s also had exhibition matches, including a show against YouTuber Logan Paul. Speaking confidently, Mayweather said, “I’ve been doing this for 30 years and there hasn’t been a single fighter that can tarnish my legacy. You already know that if I am going to do something, it’s going to be big and it’s going to be legendary. I’m the best in the business of boxing. This exhibition will give the fans what they want.” ESPN recently named Mayweather the top boxer of this century, crowning his epic career. While this exhibition won’t change his perfect official record, it promises to be one of the most thrilling boxing events ever. Brace yourselves—2026 is shaping up to be a year when ancient rivals meet again in a battle for the ages!
