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\u2014and this fight is as unpredictable as it gets. I still can\u2019t believe Floyd wants to really do this. It\u2019s going to be detrimental to his health, but he wants to do it, so it\u2019s signed and it\u2019s happening!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tyson, the former heavyweight terror with a 50-7 record and 44 knockouts, last fought in a 2024 exhibition loss to Jake Paul. Mayweather, who last fought professionally in 2017, has since taken part in several exhibition bouts, maintaining his brand and undefeated legacy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been doing this for 30 years, and there hasn\u2019t been a single fighter that can tarnish my legacy,\u201d Mayweather said. \u201cYou already know that if I am going to do something, it\u2019s going to be big and it\u2019s going to be legendary. I\u2019m the best in the business of boxing. This exhibition will give the fans what they want.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The physical mismatch is hard to ignore. Tyson typically walks around at 230 to 240 pounds, while Mayweather\u2019s weight hovers near 150. Tyson\u2019s reach is 71 inches, just an inch shorter than Mayweather\u2019s 72, but the size and power disparity is significant<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/allhiphop.com\/news\/mike-tyson-2026-fight-floyd-mayweather-confirmed\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather Jr. will meet in an exhibition bout in 2026 despite a 12-year age gap and nearly 100-pound weight difference.
