Mike Tyson is eager to revisit his exhibition match with Floyd Mayweather, whose fighting future remains unclear following a multi-million dollar lawsuit by CBS Sports Events.

The organisation was expecting to produce Mayweather’s events with Manny Pacquiao and Tyson, only to discover that the Hall of Famer was in breach of contact.

This was because he had agreed to face Greek kickboxer Mike Zambidis, with the CBS lawsuit ultimately leading to its cancellation earlier this year.

Since then, a judge has ruled that Mayweather could proceed with the Zambidis fight if he wishes, and it appears that one of the opportunities against Tyson and Pacquiao, or perhaps even both, could also be salvaged.

Tyson has, after all, claimed to be in possession of a “perfect” pair of fists after withdrawing from the Mayweather exhibition due to a hand injury.

The pair’s non-competitive encounter had been scheduled for April 25 in the Democratic Republic of Congo, with Tyson set to enter the ring for the first time since his six-round debacle with Jake Paul in 2024.

And despite no mention of a new date, the 60-year-old has told Ring Magazine that he is hoping for the Mayweather exhibition to be rescheduled.

“I’m just waiting to see what happens. I could use a paycheque.”

At 49 years old, Mayweather has not fought in a sanctioned bout since his 10th-round stoppage of Conor McGregor in 2017.

Against Tyson, however, the Americans are likely to wear larger gloves, and fight over shorter rounds, if their event is ever revisited.
