Overview
- Promoters confirmed Wednesday that the planned exhibition between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Mike Tyson has been pushed from spring to fall 2026 because Tyson is recovering from a broken hand.
- Tyson was seen wearing a cast in March and has publicly described the issue as a training injury as he works through recovery.
- Organizers have not set a replacement date or venue and say they will release the event’s broadcast partner and logistics shortly.
- The postponement raises a scheduling clash for Mayweather, who is linked to a June exhibition and a September rematch with Manny Pacquiao on Netflix, and commentators note Mayweather’s reported legal and financial disputes could complicate fall plans.
- Both men are long retired from pro competition and now rely on paid exhibitions that blur the line between exhibition and professional fights, a trend that has led to shifting dates and venue targets such as earlier plans for the Democratic Republic of Congo.
