Overview

  • The exhibition matchup is planned for next spring under SCI Sports and Fight Sports promotion, as reported by ESPN and BBC.
  • Tyson says he only believed the bout was real once Floyd Mayweather signed the contract.
  • He recounts having "blacked out" during the Jake Paul fight and says he lacked the right mental focus.
  • His main lesson from that defeat is to "just enjoy the moment" as he prepares for the Mayweather event.
  • Tyson plans to address the Paul fight and his mindset in a one-man show, Return of the Mike, starting in November, while Mayweather says the exhibition will "give the fans what they want."
