Boxing legends Tyson, Mayweather Jr. to compete at the exhibition

Published

on

Boxing legends Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather Jr. They agreed to compete in the exhibition match of the next spring. The event will be founded by CSI Sports/Fight Sports, but the details of the location, date and place where the fight will be broadcast have not yet been set.

“I have been doing it for 30 years and there was not a single warrior who can destroy my heritage,” said Mayweather (50-0, 27 KO) in a press release. “You already know that if I’m going to do something, it will be massive and legendary. I am the best in the boxing industry. This exhibition will give fans what they want.”

The 48 -year -old Mayweather retired after throwing the MMA Star Conor McGregor in 2017. Since then, he took part in eight exhibition fights, and his last against John Gotti III in August 2024.

Although his fight with Logan Paul was the largest of his exhibitions until this moment, entering the ring with the former heavyweight champion Tyson (59-7, 44 KO) will certainly convey his previous engagement.

59 -year -old Tyson recently competed in a professional boxing match with Jake Paul in November 2024 at the AT&T stadium in Arlington, Texas. It was the first time the former heavyweight champion had competed for almost two decades. The event was a huge success, with 65 million co -creating viewers in Netflix, which makes it the most commonly recorded sporting event. Tyson lost Paweł’s unanimous decision and was far from his destructive form during his splendor.

Tyson recently told ESPN that he is interested in competing in the next fight if the right opportunity appeared.

“When CSI came to me about entering the ring with Floyd Mayweather, I thought:” There is no way it would happen, “but Floyd said yes,” said Tyson. “This fight is not something that I did not think, nor could I happen. However, the boxing entered a novel era of unpredictable – and this fight is as unpredictable as possible as possible.

“I still can’t believe that Floyd really wants to do it. It will be harmful to his health, but he wants to do it, so he is signed and happens!”

Tyson weighed 228.4 pounds in his fight with Paweł; Mayweather tilted the scales to 160.8 pounds against Gotti.

“Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather are the two most convincing names and personalities, with constant heirs, in all sports. These are the 21st century icons,” said Richard and Craig Miele, co-founders of CSI Sports/Fight Sports. “Tyson vs. Mayweather will break any broadcast, streaming and economic record set by Mike Tyson in 2024. We are planning a solid promotional campaign together with a weekly premium story and marketing range around the world. The event itself will be in world class and presented global audience with novel elements of ring technology, which will be Giving up how boxing will arise and will achieve results to achieve years, for years to take place.

Details about the number of rounds, weight and others will be disclosed at a later date.
