MIKE TYSON is still in negotiations for an exhibition with Floyd Mayweather in 2026 \u2013 after KOing claims that his fight against Jake Paul was fixed. <\/p>\n

The heavyweight legend made a controversial comeback last November to face YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul over eight shorter rounds of two minutes. <\/p>\n

And after Tyson lost a lacklustre decision \u2013 online conspiracists alleged the bout \u2013 seen by over 100 MILLION on Netflix \u2013 was rigged. <\/p>\n

Paul has since hired attorney Alex Spiro \u2013 also used by Elon Musk in the past \u2013 to take legal action against anyone making the baseless accusation.<\/a><\/p>\n

But also fighting his corner is boxing manager Amer Abdallah \u2013 who was in Tyson\u2019s training camp and corner for the mega-fight. <\/p>\n

Abdallah told SunSport: \u201cI know it sounds cliche \u2013 but I\u2019m proud of a 58-year-old man going in there and doing things that 20-year-olds couldn\u2019t do. Mike was in the gym busting his ass every day.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd listen, I\u2019ll get the elephant out of the room; the first question I\u2019m always asked every single time that I see somebody that I haven\u2019t seen since that fight is, \u2018Man, was there an agreement in place? Was there something?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I\u2019ll tell you the answer is absolutely not. Mike busted his ass five-six days a week in the gym, legitimate sparring partners, legitimate strength and conditioning guys, legitimate nutritionists.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe took the fight very seriously but Mike is also a guy that right before we walked out to the Jake fight, he came over and he goes, \u2018I love making history.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd you could just tell that\u2019s what drives that guy, he\u2019s just built a little bit different than most people are.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd look, an opportunity presented itself once again, a very monumental landmark kind of event, a little bit unconventional with with the Floyd fight and he jumped on it and and listen he\u2019s back in it again.<\/p>\n

\u201cMike\u2019s just one of those guys that\u2019s gonna keep pushing himself until he can\u2019t push anymore so you know that\u2019s Mike Tyson, that\u2019s why he is who he is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tyson \u2013 who has since turned 59 \u2013 and Mayweather announced in September that they had signed to fight in an exhibition bout next year. <\/a><\/p>\n

But scepticism has been raised with no date or venue having yet been confirmed. <\/p>\n

Although Abdallah \u2013 speaking in Manila ahead of IBA\u2019s event in the Philippines \u2013 is confident the spectacle showdown will be signed, sealed and delivered. <\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI have an immense deal of trust in the agent representing Mike for that, Andrew Ruf of Paradigm.<\/p>\n

\u201cAndrew is a very diligent guy. The discussions with Floyd\u2019s team are very diligent, very structured. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe guys that are financing the event are real guys. They put real money up, real deposits.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe the fight does happen. I really do. I mean, unless something catastrophic happens.<\/p>\n

\u201cCandidly, I think that you\u2019re gonna have to make sure you get a network that\u2019s willing to stream a fight like that and then once that\u2019s announced, I think we see that in Q2 of next year.\u201d<\/p>\n
