Floyd Mayweather is Coming Out of Retirement
By Eddie Sanchez
Floyd Mayweather is coming out of retirement (again).
‘Money’ announced that he will compete professionally in boxing after an exhibition fight with Mike Tyson in the spring, for the first time in nine years.
On Friday, Mayweather announced his plans to box professionally again after a planned exhibition bout with legendary heavyweight champion Tyson. Mayweather signed an exclusive deal with CSI Sports/FIGHT SPORTS for his upcoming exhibition and professional fights.
“I still have what it takes to set more records in the sport of boxing,” Mayweather said in a press release.
“From my upcoming Mike Tyson event to my next professional fight afterwards, no one will generate a bigger gate, have a larger global broadcast audience, and generate more money with each event than my events.”
CSI Sports has yet to reveal details about event dates, broadcast information, or the professional opponent for Mayweather’s professional return in the coming weeks.
Mayweather vs Tyson will take place on April 25 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. CSI Sports has not announced the date, location, or ruleset.
Mayweather and Tyson are a combined 107 years old. Mayweather weighed in at 160.7 pounds for his last exhibition fight with John Gotti III. Tyson weighed 228.4 pounds for his exhibition bout with Jake Paul.
Right now, we are all in an I’ll believe it when I see it, mode.
