Floyd Mayweather Jr. is lacing the gloves back up. Just days before turning 49, the undefeated champ announced he’s ending his retirement — again — and returning to professional boxing after his spring 2026 exhibition bout with Mike Tyson.
Mayweather has signed an exclusive deal with CSI Sports/Fight Sports to promote the next chapter of his career. And in classic Money Mayweather fashion, he made it clear he expects to dominate the box office as much as the ring. “I still have what it takes to set more records,” he said in a statement to ESPN, adding that no one will generate a bigger gate or global audience than his events.
But the comeback news arrives as an upscale Miami jeweler recently filed a lawsuit claiming Mayweather owes more than $1.375 million. That case follows a New York suit alleging he owes $330,000 in unpaid rent and damages on a $24 million Manhattan penthouse.
