Mayweather to come out of retirement after Tyson exhibition
Floyd Mayweather Jr. is returning to the professional boxing ranks.
The soon-to-be 49-year-old announced that he'll come out of retirement following his spring 2026 exhibition fight with Mike Tyson. Mayweather signed an exclusive deal with CSI Sports/Fight Sports as his promoter.
"I still have what it takes to set more records in the sport of boxing," he said in a statement provided to ESPN's Andreas Hale on Friday.
Mayweather retired from professional boxing following his 2017 victory over MMA fighter Conor McGregor, finishing his career with a perfect 50-0 record. He won 15 world titles in five different weight classes throughout his career.
Since retiring from professional boxing, Mayweather has fought during a number of exhibition events, including against YouTuber-turned-WWE wrestler Logan Paul, MMA fighter Mikuru Asakura, and boxer John Gotti III.
