Boxing legends Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather Jr. are reportedly finalizing an exhibition bout scheduled for early 2026, organizers confirmed. The fight will not be for a title but is designed as a special event for fans.
Tyson, turning 60 next year, is returning to the ring after an eight-round loss to Jake Paul last year. Mayweather, 48, last officially fought in 2017 against Conor McGregor and dominated five weight classes during his career.

A statement from CSI Sports, the event’s broadcast partner, did not reveal a venue or date but confirmed multi-platform streaming and media partnerships to reach a global audience. Tyson said, “When CSI approached me with the offer to step into the ring with Floyd Mayweather, I thought: ‘No way.’ But Floyd said, ‘Yes.’” Mayweather added, “This fight is something the world and I never imagined would happen… it’s as unpredictable as it gets.”
