Mayweather–Tyson Exhibition Set for Spring 2026 as Mayweather Teases Pro Return

Key details, including the date, venue, rules and broadcaster, remain unfinalized.

Overview

  • Floyd Mayweather told TMZ Sports that "there's been talks" and "it's possible" he takes a sanctioned pro fight after facing Mike Tyson, which would put his 50-0 record at risk.
  • Mike Tyson and Mayweather have agreed to an exhibition promoted by CSI Sports/Fight Sports for spring 2026, with the bout expected to use adjusted exhibition rules rather than full professional sanctioning.
  • Mayweather, 48, said he is not yet training and described the event as "Legend vs Legend," continuing a run of exhibitions that have included Logan Paul and John Gotti III since his 2017 retirement.
  • Tyson, 59, recently lost an eight-round exhibition to Jake Paul, intensifying questions about competitiveness and safety given the fighters’ ages and size difference.
  • Jake Paul said he is rooting for Tyson and criticized Mayweather’s recent drawing power, as Tyson has suggested it was Mayweather who pushed for the matchup.
