59-year-old Mike Tyson will face 49-year-old Floyd Mayweather in a boxing match. Both fighters have signed the contract, and the fight is scheduled to take place in the spring of 2026.
The boxing world was shaken by a match planned for early 2026 that will bring together two of the greatest names of all time, Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather Jr.
TO BE HELD IN 2026
Tyson, who lost in an eight-round match against Jake Paul last year and will turn 60 next year, is set to return to the ring after his defeat.
WHERE WILL THE MATCH BE?
Currently, the city or arena where the match will take place has not been announced. Promoter CSI Sports stated that discussions are ongoing for the match to be held in a large venue that will attract global interest. Leading arenas in the U.S. are emerging as candidates for this organization. There is no clear information regarding the start time of the match. However, considering previous similar exhibition matches, the Tyson - Mayweather encounter is expected to start during U.S. prime time, which means it will likely begin in the early morning hours in Turkey.
