A Floyd Mayweather vs. Mike Tyson exhibition match is still in the works, but it won\u2019t be happening on April 25th as planned.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s according to veteran boxing reporter Dan Rafael, who shared an update on the fight via his socials.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeen much discussion about the Mike Tyson – Floyd Mayweather exhibition taking place April 25 in Congo,\u201d Rafael wrote. \u201cBut, per source with knowledge of the plans, it definitely won\u2019t be that date. It will move to a later date and while it might be in Congo, no site is set.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tyson vs. Mayweather was announced in September, but details have continued to be sparse. It was only when \u201cIron Mike\u201d re-confirmed the fight<\/a> in mid-February that important details like a date and location started to be announced. Alas, it now looks like the date and location are not as locked in as previously expected.<\/p>\n For Mayweather, the Mike Tyson fight represents the start of a very busy 2026. He\u2019s already lined up Tyson in April, another exhibition in June against kickboxer Mike Zambidis, and then a pro bout against Manny Pacquiao in September. That\u2019s a lot of action for \u201cMoney,\u201d who\u2019s previous three-fight years were 2022 and 2005.<\/p>\n As for Mike Tyson, he seems less rushed when it comes to his plans for the year. As of now, all of his social media is focused on the Mike Tyson Invitational on March 12th to 14th, an amateur boxing competition. The only recent hint of the Mayweather fight: a February 19th post with the caption \u201cLet\u2019s get healthy again.\u201d<\/p>\n Those who paid close attention to the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight will remember Tyson releasing a decent amount of training footage<\/a> as he prepared for his comeback fight. A month and a half from April 25th, and we haven\u2019t seen any of that, making this report from Dan Rafael not very surprising.<\/p>\n The delays on the Tyson fight could mess up Mayweather\u2019s June fight with Zambidis in Athens, Greece.<\/p>\n \u201cFloyd is contractually obligated to the Tyson even before he can do anything else,\u201d Rafael added.<\/p>\n
