CSI Sports announced that Floyd Mayweather Jr. will face Mike Tyson in an exhibition bout in 2026, with full details yet to be confirmed. Mayweather retired undefeated after winning world titles in five weight classes and has continued to compete in exhibitions. Tyson lost by unanimous decision to influencer Jake Paul in November and will be 59 for the Mayweather matchup, a decision likely to attract criticism and add to his controversial career. Mayweather described the event as "big" and "legendary." Mayweather has fought eight exhibitions since retiring, four of which were scored. The sight of Mayweather fighting a man of Tyson's age is likely to make for an uneasy spectacle.
