Tyson vs Mayweather Fight in 2026

According to The Sun: Mike Tyson plans to hold a grand boxing match with Floyd Mayweather in 2026.

Both athletes have already signed contracts for this exhibition fight.

According to TMZ, the fight will take place in the spring. Tyson, who is already 59 years old, confirmed this information on Instagram on Thursday night.

The former heavyweight champion raised concerns about his health during the fight with Jake Paul last year, losing the match to the younger opponent.

Mayweather, who remains undefeated, is eleven years younger than Tyson.

Currently, the legendary boxer is not engaged in active training but remains in excellent physical shape.

The fight between Tyson and Mayweather is organized by CSI Sports/Fight Sports. The date and location have yet to be determined.

“This fight is something I didn't expect, neither the world nor I,” said Iron Mike.

“However, boxing has entered a new era of unpredictability, and this fight will be as unpredictable as possible.”

Tyson expressed his surprise at Mayweather's intention to return to the ring: “I still can't believe Floyd really wants to do this. It might be harmful to his health, but he wants to do it, so it's signed, and it will happen!”

This exhibition fight will not affect their professional records.

“I've been doing this for 30 years, and no boxer can tarnish my legacy,” Mayweather stated.

“You already know, if I'm doing something, it will be big and legendary,” he added.

“I am the best in the boxing game. This exhibition fight will give fans exactly what they want.”

Mayweather was recognized as the best boxer of the 21st century. He last entered the ring in August 2017, when he fought Conor McGregor. Later, he also participated in an exhibition match against Logan Paul.

Tyson's last fight with his brother Jake attracted 108 million viewers.

This clash between two boxing icons promises to be the event of the year, capturing the attention of sports fans worldwide. Anticipation around this fight is rising, as the opponents have illustrious careers filled with both successes and challenges. Players in the sporting arena are eager to see how these boxing legends will face off in the ring again and what new emotions this will bring to their fans.
