Boxers Floyd Mayweather and Mike Tyson are coming out of retirement for an exhibition match...
From ESPN
Boxing legends Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather Jr. agreed to compete in an exhibition match next spring. The event will be put on by CSI Sports/Fight Sports, but details regarding a location, date and where the fight will be broadcast have yet to be determined.
"I've been doing this for 30 years, and there hasn't been a single fighter that can tarnish my legacy," Mayweather (50-0, 27 KOs) said in a news release. "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."
Tyson recently told ESPN that he had interest in competing in another fight if the right opportunity presented itself.
"When CSI came to me about stepping in the ring with Floyd Mayweather, I thought, 'No way this happens,' but Floyd said yes," Tyson said. "This fight is something neither the world nor I ever thought would or could happen. 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. It's going to be detrimental to his health, but he wants to do it, so it's signed and it's happening!"
