Floyd Mayweather’s clash with Mike Tyson will be rescheduled for fall of this year.
The bout has been plunged into chaos in recent months, with no concrete details being provided after the bout agreement was signed.
Mayweather and Tyson will still fight but later in the year
Mayweather also has a raft of alternative bouts lined up, and things went quiet after it was announced he’d face Manny Pacquiao in a rematch.
The bout with heavyweight legend Tyson was originally targeted for this April, but the time passed and went.
And now organisers have revealed that the bout is still on, but will be targeted for later in 2026.
Promoters CSI Sports have suggested that a broken hand is what has kept Tyson from competing.
He suffered the injury in training but is expected to be fine again to face Mayweather.
It is unclear exactly when this could land, but fall is the target with the exact details to be announced including venue.
Venues in Africa have previously been touted but any final decision has yet to be made.
Organisers could face a challenge given the hectic schedule of Mayweather until the end of the year.
The American legend will also face Greek kickboxing icon Mike Zambidis in June in yet another fight date.
‘Money’ may also may not be able to travel abroad until financial issues are resolved with the IRS who threatened to confiscate his passport.

Why is Mike Tyson fighting again?
For Tyson, it comes with great surprise that he is choosing to step in the squared circle again.
The power-punching phenom is a shadow of himself, and claims he nearly died while preparing for his 2024 clash with Jake Paul.
Tyson was beaten by the novice in a sad ending to his career, but he continues to chase big-paying exhibitions.
He said: “I have a 14-year-old son, and my son said ‘Why? Why are you doing this?’
“For a moment, I didn’t know what to say. And I felt sad for a moment.
“I said, because I’m the best that ever did it. That’s why.
“Listen, I made more money in my 50s than I did in my 20s. And I only had, what, four fights over my 50s. That’s really interesting.
“From that perspective, I’m now 60 years old. The money doesn’t mean anything. The people I love, I can take care of.”
