If you watched the Tyson v. Paul fight last fall this announcement might give you the willies...

BREAKING: Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather agree to an exhibition fight, per @TMZ_Sports 🚨🤯

Both fighters have signed contracts and the fight is scheduled for Spring 2026

WOW. 🍿 pic.twitter.com/XGBWbSsA46— Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) September 4, 2025

Yes, Mike Tyson (59) will box Floyd Mayweather (48) in 2026.

After watching that Jake Paul fight we were all convinced that Mike Tyson would never fight again.

But we were wrong!

Why not, people will pay money for it and the two will make millions. It’s entertainment.

I would think it would be a little hard for them to fight each other at that age. Wouldn’t their oxygen tanks and walkers get in the way?

Nope, not falling for it again. I still feel stupid for falling for that last one!

That's why they are doing it again, the first one sold out. Americans will buy anything.

Are they not both a wee bit “long in the tooth” for this kind of activity?

OK, OK, I'm 72 and still ride my Harley, but this is a little different...isn't it?

Ha! I wouldn’t fight Tyson if I was 25. He’s still one dangerous SoB.

Last time Mike fought it was a boring fiasco. Not worth tuning in for.

A training exhibition. Nothing else. Would love to see EA sign Mayweather to a deal where they’re both in UFC games and we see Tyson vs Mayweather in an “openweight” video game.

But this is for money on Netflix or DAZN. No sensible television will show boxing now.

I’m a life-long boxing fan, and the Taylor-Serrano bout on the undercard was one of the best fights I’ve ever seen. The announcers said that Serrano got robbed, due to the fact she landed more punches, but one look at their faces after the match put the lie to that.

All funded with broadcast rights by those who want Newsom as President. They protected Newsom during the recall.
