Tyson vs. Mayweather: Boxing Legends Could Meet in 2026
Boxing is bracing for a blockbuster showdown as promoter CSI Sports announced that Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather have reached a deal for a potential exhibition fight set for Spring 2026.
Although no date or location has been confirmed, the announcement alone has electrified fans worldwide.
Tyson, now 59, is remembered as one of the most dominant heavyweights of his generation, with a record of 50 wins—44 by knockout—and last fought in an exhibition loss to Jake Paul in November 2024.
Mayweather, 48, retired undefeated in 2017 after 50 professional fights across five weight classes, yet has continued to appear in exhibitions, including a win over John Gotti III in 2024.
Tyson himself called the matchup “as unpredictable as it gets,” and with both legends stepping back into the spotlight, this fight could redefine the spectacle of modern boxing exhibitions.
