Mike Tyson, Floyd Mayweather agree to future fight

Yes, you read the above headline correctly: Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather have agreed to a boxing match.

However, details are still a bit light. The exhibition fight is set to occur in the spring of 2026 but the location has yet to be determined. How people can watch is also unclear.

CSI Sports, “a multimedia company that acquires, produces, distributes, and broadcasts fight related content weekly in the U.S. and international markets,” is promoting the event. The company has previously acquired the rights to HBO boxing events in addition to the Tuesday Night Fights series that used to air on USA Network that now air on their Fight Sports network in addition to other combat sports, American Ninja Warrior and other content.

The 59-year-old Tyson famously fought and lost to Jake Paul last November on Netflix — his first bout in nearly 20 years. The 48-year-old Mayweather last fought professionally in 2017, defeating UFC star Conor McGregor. However, he fought nearly his entire undefeated career at welterweight (140-147 pounds) which is a far cry from Tyson’s heavyweight range.

Since then, Mayweather has fought in exhibitions against current WWE star Logan Paul, kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa, former sparring partners, and YouTubers.

Former ESPN executive John Skipper, former HBO PPV executive Mark Taffet, and former Showtime PR head Chris DeBlasio all have joined the CSI Sports group with the promise of an impending “multi-event global media streaming and broadcast partnership that will launch with this event.”
