Mayweather and Tyson will still fight but later in the year<\/p>\n

Mayweather also has a raft of alternative bouts lined up, and things went quiet after it was announced he’d face Manny Pacquiao<\/a> in a rematch.<\/p>\n

The bout with heavyweight legend Tyson was originally targeted for this April, but the time passed and went.<\/p>\n

And now organisers have revealed that the bout is still on, but will be targeted for later in 2026.<\/p>\n

Promoters CSI Sports have suggested that a broken hand is what has kept Tyson from competing.<\/p>\n

He suffered the injury in training but is expected to be fine again to face Mayweather.<\/p>\n

It is unclear exactly when this could land, but fall is the target with the exact details to be announced including venue.<\/p>\n

Venues in Africa have previously been touted<\/a> but any final decision has yet to be made.<\/p>\n

Organisers could face a challenge given the hectic schedule of Mayweather until the end of the year.<\/p>\n

The American legend will also face Greek kickboxing icon Mike Zambidis in June<\/a> in yet another fight date.<\/p>\n

‘Money’ may also may not be able to travel abroad until financial issues are resolved with the IRS who threatened to confiscate his passport<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For Tyson, it comes with great surprise that he is choosing to step in the squared circle again.<\/p>\n

The power-punching phenom is a shadow of himself, and claims he nearly died while preparing for his 2024 clash with Jake Paul.<\/p>\n

Tyson was beaten by the novice in a sad ending to his career, but he continues to chase big-paying exhibitions.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI have a 14-year-old son, and my son said ‘Why? Why are you doing this?’<\/p>\n

“For a moment, I didn\u2019t know what to say. And I felt sad for a moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cI said, because I\u2019m the best that ever did it. That\u2019s why.<\/p>\n

\u201cListen, I made more money in my 50s than I did in my 20s. And I only had, what, four fights over my 50s. That\u2019s really interesting.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom that perspective, I\u2019m now 60 years old. The money doesn\u2019t mean anything.
