Overview
- In a new exchange published Friday, Mike Tyson responded “I don’t know” when asked if he is still fighting Floyd Mayweather, softening earlier assertions that the bout was set for April 25 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
- Earlier this week, Tyson told Ariel Helwani the exhibition was signed and outlined an eight-round, catchweight format with no weight limit and an intention to use the ring from Ali–Foreman’s 1974 “Rumble in the Jungle.”
- Tyson has been training with a cast on his right hand, describing it as a sprain, and he previously acknowledged the injury could affect timing despite saying he still expects to box next month.
- No formal confirmation from promoters or officials has been issued for the event, with reporter Dan Rafael characterizing the April 25 date as unlikely and key details such as venue logistics, broadcast and sanctioning still unclear.
- Floyd Mayweather has other bookings reported for June 27 in Athens against Mike Zambidis and a targeted September rematch with Manny Pacquiao, adding further questions about scheduling.
