Two of the most prominent boxers of all time are preparing to square off in an exhibition match in spring 2026. Mike Tyson, the former heavyweight world champion, iconic entertainer and entrepreneur, and Floyd Money Mayweather, a man associated with modern boxing dominance and a remarkable undefeated record of 50-0, have signed with CSI Sports / Fight Sports to deliver the event globally on a date and from a location to be determined.

“When CSI came to me about stepping in the ring with Floyd Mayweather,” said Tyson. “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.”

“I’ve been doing this for 30 years and there hasn’t been a single fighter that can tarnish my legacy,” added Mayweather. “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.”

CSI Sports and Fight Sports co-founders, brothers Richard and Craig Miele, will produce a multi-platform, global broadcast befitting the event. CSI SPports has additionally announced that John Skipper (ESPN, DAZN, Meadowlark Media), Mark Taffet (HBO PPV), Brian Robinson (American Idol Productions) and Chris DeBlasio (Showtime Networks) have joined its leadership team,  andwill soon announce a multi-event global media streaming and broadcast partnership that will launch with this event.

“Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather are two of the most compelling names and personalities with lasting legacies in all of sports. They are 21^st century icons,” said the Miele brothers. “Tyson vs Mayweather will break every broadcast, streaming and economic record set by Mike Tyson in 2024. We are planning a robust promotional campaign complete with weekly premium storytelling and worldwide marketing reach. The event itself will be in a world-class venue and be presented to a global audience with new in-ring technology elements that will reshape how boxing is presented, and scoring is achieved for years to come.”
