"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!"
"I've been doing this for 30 years and there hasn't been a single fighter that can tarnish my legacy. You already know that if I am going to do something, it's going to be big and it's going to be legendary. I'm the best in the business of boxing. This exhibition will give the fans what they want."
Mike Tyson, 59, agreed to fight Floyd Mayweather in spring 2026 after a disappointing exhibition with Jake Paul. Tyson described the matchup as unpredictable and said he still cannot believe Mayweather wants to do it, warning it could be detrimental to Mayweather's health but confirming the fight is signed. Mayweather emphasized a 30-year career, defended his legacy, and promised a big, legendary exhibition for the fans. Details about the exact date and location have not been announced, and both fighters portray the bout as a marquee, unpredictable exhibition event.
