Boxing purists might want to stay away from this one next year.

While there is no official date or location on the books, Floyd Mayweather Jr. (50-0, 27 KOs) will square off with Mike Tyson (50-7, 2 NC; 44 KOs) in an exhibition boxing affair next year. With 11 years separating them—Mayweather 48 to Tyson’s 59—along with a roughly 70-pound weight gap, the result will not reach either fighter’s professional record. Per the release from the Fight Sports Network, Mayweather Promotions and Mike Tyson Promotions will be teaming up with boxing event distributor CSI Sports to put on this gala event.
