Overview
- Multiple outlets report the bout is planned for April 25, 2026 in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo.
- The event is described as an exhibition that will not count toward professional records and is expected to use modified rules given age and weight differences.
- Organizers have not issued a full official announcement, and specifics on rounds, weight terms, broadcast partners and ticketing remain undisclosed.
- Coverage cites The Ring and boxing reporter Mike Coppinger as sources for the date and location, reflecting a developing plan rather than a finalized contract.
- Promotional involvement has been reported to include CBS Sports with Mayweather Promotions and Mike Tyson Promotions, as Kinshasa’s 1974 Ali–Foreman legacy is invoked to drive global interest and revenue expectations.
