Floyd Mayweather to unretire, resume boxing after his Tyson exhibition bout

Just days before his 49th birthday, Floyd Mayweather Jr. has announced that he will end his retirement and resume his professional boxing career after his spring 2026 boxing exhibition with Mike Tyson
Mayweather has signed an exclusive agreement with CSI Sports/Fight Sports as his promoter for the next stage of his career.
"I still have what it takes to set more records in the sport of boxing," Mayweather said in a written statement to ESPN. "From my upcoming Mike Tyson event to my next professional fight afterwards -- no one will generate a bigger gate, have a larger global broadcast audience and generate more money with each event -- then my events. And I plan to keep doing it with my global media partner, CSI Sports/FIGHT SPORTS."
Mayweather retired from boxing at the age of 40 after his August 2017 knockout win over MMA star Conor McGregor, running his record to a perfect 50-0 with 27 wins by stoppage. Mayweather has since competed in several exhibition boxing matches with the likes of Logan Paul, Mikuru Asakura and John Gotti III.
quote:
It was announced last September that Mayweather and Tyson would meet in an exhibition match in spring 2026. There have been reports that the fight will take place on April 25 in the Democratic Republic of Congo, but ESPN could not confirm that it will happen on that date, and no network has been established to carry the bout.

Mayweather has been in the news over the past few weeks as he filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against Showtime earlier this month. Mayweather claims he is owed "at least" $340 million from his reported $1.2 billion in career fight purses.

He broke and he sees the current landscape of nobody's in the boxing world now.

With his extremely boring point fighting style I’m sure he could still win at this level but I don’t know anyone that would want to watch.

I hope Mike Tyson wrecks him although I know it won’t happen

Mayweather can't resist the easy money.

They're setting up another fight with Manny.
Floyd has let the Money Team bleed him dry.

So he fights another fighter past his prime, how convenient.
Did he ever fight anyone in their prime other than Canelo?

He definitely did some cherry picking. He was an all time great defensive fighter but he consistently played it "safe" and avoided exchanges and going for knockouts. One of my least favorite fighters ever.
The opposite mentality of Duran, Sugar Ray Leonard, Arguello, Sanchez, etc., etc. They were killers and that's why we loved them.

Canelo was hardly in his prime. He was young when they fought.
