Floyd Mayweather\u2018s fighting future is about to become a lot clearer.<\/p>\n
After not competing professionally since 2017 and no exhibition bouts since 2024, Mayweather looked set for a busy 2026, with three different fights all announced.<\/p>\n
First he was lined up for an exhibition with fellow boxing legend Mike Tyson, before a shock professional rematch against former foe Manny Pacquiao was confirmed for September 19.<\/p>\n
The American didn\u2019t stop there, after it was then revealed that he was scheduled for another exhibition against Greek kickboxer Mike Zambidis, but there has been doubt surrounding each of those fights over the past few weeks.<\/p>\n
The clash with Tyson was initially rumoured for the Congo in April, but that date has come and gone, with various factors including an injury to \u2018Iron Mike\u2019 throwing doubt on whether it will be rescheduled.<\/p>\n
Mayweather\u2019s bout with Pacquiao has also faced several issues, after the pair disagreed over if it will be a professional fight or an exhibition contest, while the announced venue of The Sphere in Las Vegas is now unavailable on the originally planned date.<\/a><\/p>\n It appears that Mayweather is at least proceeding with one of those three fights though, after he revealed on social media<\/a> the details of a press conference for the battle against Zambidis.<\/p>\n PRESS CONFERENCE: WHEN: Thursday, May 7<\/p>\n TIME: WHERE: \u2014 Floyd Mayweather (@FloydMayweather) May 7, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n For now it appears that Mayweather\u2019s focus is on the exhibition with Zambidis, but Pacquiao\u2019s team have stated previously that the American will be in breach of contract if he proceeds with that bout<\/a>, so the issues still look to be a long way from being resolved.<\/p>\n
