CBSN
The two legendary fighters have said that they signed on for a match, but no info on date or location has been announced
Two of the biggest names in boxing history have agreed to a match, according to a press release from CSI Sports. Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and former welterweight king Floyd Mayweather have signed contracts for a fight to take place in the spring of 2026. The release, however, says that the exact date, location and rule set are still to be determined.
"When CSI came to me about stepping in the ring with Floyd Mayweather," Tyson said in the release. "I thought, 'No way this happens,' but, Floyd said yes.
"This fight is something neither the world nor I ever thought would or could happen. However, boxing has entered a new era of the unpredictable -- and this fight is as unpredictable as it gets. I still can't believe Floyd wants to really do this. It's going to be detrimental to his health, but he wants to do it, so it's signed and it's happening!"
