In two months, Mike Tyson<\/a> and Floyd Mayweather Jr<\/a> will meet in an unconventional exhibition bout in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the clash, recently retired pound-for-pound star Terence Crawford<\/a> has admitted he sees only one possible winner.<\/p>\n

With Floyd Mayweather\u2019s professional comeback on the horizon<\/a>, many fans are intrigued to see how the undefeated 49-year-old will look in his ring return against the once \u2018Baddest Man on the Planet\u2019.<\/p>\n

Whilst Mayweather has been officially inactive for almost 11 years as a professional, \u2018TBE\u2019 has kept himself in shape through the use of many lucrative exhibition contests, this being his ninth non-sanctioned appearance since hanging up the gloves.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, \u2018Iron\u2019 Mike Tyson retired from the sport after defeat to Kevin McBride in 2005, but he made a controversial return in November 2024, when he was outboxed by YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, suffering a seventh professional defeat.<\/p>\n

Now, despite Mayweather having reigned as a super-featherweight world champion and Mike Tyson spending his entire career at heavyweight, the two are set to meet in Kinshasa \u2014 the site of the iconic \u201cRumble in the Jungle,\u201d where Muhammad Ali<\/a> knocked out George Foreman<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking on \u2018The Joe Rogan Experience<\/a>\u2018 podcast ahead of the fight, five-division world champion Crawford revealed that, despite his physical disadvantages, he is expecting Mayweather to dominate proceedings, due to Tyson\u2019s performance against Paul.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe [Mike Tyson] is not going to land a fist on [Mayweather], not after his last performance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mayweather-Tyson takes place on Saturday, April 25, with no official broadcaster or undercard confirmed for the event as of yet<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In two months, Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather Jr will meet in an unconventional exhibition bout in the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":501867,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-501866","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/501866","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=501866"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/501866\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/501867"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=501866"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=501866"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=501866"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
