"It's Going To Be Detrimental To His Health." 59-Year-Old Mike Tyson Set To Fight 48-Year-Old Floyd Mayweather In The Spring Of 2026

Source - Two of the greatest boxers of all-time have agreed to a fight ... TMZ Sports has learned Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather have signed a deal to square off against one another!!

We're told the match -- which will be put on by CSI Sports/Fight Sports -- is currently scheduled for sometime in the spring of 2026.

An exact date and precise location are not yet known ... but nonetheless, Tyson said he's thrilled to be slated to mix it up with Floyd, whom he hasn't always had the greatest relationship.

"This fight is something neither the world nor I ever thought would or could happen," Iron Mike said. "However, boxing has entered a new era of the unpredictable -- and this fight is as unpredictable as it gets."

"I still can't believe Floyd wants to really do this," he added. "It's going to be detrimental to his health, but he wants to do it, so it's signed and it's happening!"

The fight will be an exhibition, so Mayweather isn't risking his perfect 50-0 record ... though he doesn't sound concerned about Tyson in any way.

100% fuck no. I hate everything about this. I'm going to watch it, along with the rest of the world, but I won't like it. The only good thing is that Floyd won't pretend that this is a real fight. Unlike Jake Paul (who I like), Floyd is going to be very transparent about this fact that this is a money grab. Mike on the other hand...I don't know if he has that ability. Once he starts training he kinda becomes a different person. "Iron" Mike, if you will. The guy said he is literally afraid of himself when he trains because it "activates his ego." 

Here's what Mayweather had to say about the fight...

"I've been doing this for 30 years and there hasn't been a single fighter that can tarnish my legacy," Mayweather said. "You already know that if I am going to do something, it's going to be big and it’s going to be legendary. I'm the best in the business of boxing. This exhibition will give the fans what they want."

"The business of boxing." Gross. You have to give him credit though, he knows that people will watch whether they want to or not and because of that he's going to make a FUCK TON of money. 

Regardless, I'm looking forward to seeing more of Mike. Especially if we get pre-fight interviews like this... 

What a legend. Fingers crossed no one gets hurt. Now here's the obligatory Mike Tyson highlight reel. Enjoy…
