The exhibition bout between Tyson and Mayweather, set for spring 2026, aims to celebrate boxing legends and generate worldwide attention with a major promotional campaign.
- TMZ and promoters reported the two Hall of Famers, Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather Jr., have signed contracts for an exhibition bout slated for Spring 2026, hosted by CSI Sports/Fight Sports.
- Packing the matchup as an exhibition, organizers hope to capitalise on legendary star power and use new technology at a world-class venue to reshape boxing presentation, CSI Sports says.
- Tyson, who will turn 60 on June 30, 2026, returned to the ring last year and said `I still can't believe Floyd wants to really do this`, while Floyd Mayweather Jr. enters undefeated at 50 and will be 49 by the fight.
