Tyson Says Mayweather Exhibition Set for March 2026 in Africa

Organizers say contracts are signed, with key logistics still to be announced.

Overview

  • Speaking at a Dublin event, Mike Tyson said his exhibition with Floyd Mayweather is planned for March 2026 in Africa.
  • Promoters CSI Sports/Fight Sports previously confirmed signed agreements for an early-2026 matchup between the Hall-of-Famers.
  • The bout is billed as an exhibition with modified rules, so neither fighter’s professional record would be affected.
  • Promoters have not named the host city, exact date, rules or broadcaster; industry coverage suggests Netflix as a possibility, but no partner is confirmed.
  • A significant age and weight gap—Tyson 59 and historically a heavyweight, Mayweather 48 and much lighter—adds scrutiny around safety and likely format.
