The date and location for Mike Tyson's exhibition fight with Floyd Mayweather have reportedly been confirmed.
Back in November 2024, Tyson, at the age of 58, returned to the ring as he took on American YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul in an exhibition fight held at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, which was streamed live on popular platform, Netflix.
Perhaps as expected, the much younger Paul came away victorious as he was announced as the winner via unanimous decision after the fight went the full distance.
Meanwhile, Mayweather, 48, last fought in August 2024 against John Gotti III. A formal winner was not announced.
