Boxing icons Floyd Mayweather and Mike Tyson have announced they will meet in an exhibition match scheduled for Spring 2026, as confirmed by their promotion team, CSI Sports/Fight Sports. While the exact date and location remain undetermined, both fighters have expressed enthusiasm about the event, marking a significant moment in the boxing world since both are legends of their eras, according to Indiatimes, Dawn, and BBC.

Tyson, 59, who holds a notable record of 50 wins and 7 losses, last appeared in the ring against Jake Paul in November 2024. He expressed his surprise that Mayweather, at 48 years old and boasting a perfect professional record of 50-0, agreed to the fight, describing it as something "neither the world nor I ever thought would or could happen," according to CBS News and Dawn.

Mayweather noted that while this fight will be an exhibition and will not count towards either fighter’s professional record, he is confident it will be "big and legendary." He asserted that there’s no fighter who can tarnish his legacy and emphasized his intention to deliver a memorable event for fans, according to Indiatimes and BBC.

However, the announcement has met with mixed reactions from fans, many of whom are skeptical about the authenticity of the match. Previous exhibition fights, including Tyson's last bout against Paul, have raised questions regarding their legitimacy and the motivations behind such setups, with some suggesting they are primarily financially driven, as reported by Indiatimes and CBS News.

The fight promoters have yet to release information regarding the fight’s rules or weight classifications, leaving fans and analysts alike speculating about how the bout will unfold, according to Dawn and BBC.
