Boxing Great Floyd Mayweather Coming Out Of Retirement After Mike Tyson Exhibition
The undefeated (50-0) global boxing legend Floyd “Money” Mayweather has officially announced that he is coming out of retirement following his spring exhibition against fellow icon Mike Tyson. Mayweather has signed an exclusive agreement with CSI Sports™/FIGHT SPORTS® to resume his professional boxing career following the exhibition with his first official fight under the CSI Sports™/FIGHT SPORTS® banner slated for this summer against a to be announced opponent.
“I still have what it takes to set more records in the sport of boxing – from my upcoming Mike Tyson event to my next professional fight afterwards – no one will generate a bigger gate, have a larger global broadcast audience and generate more money with each event – than my events. And I plan to keep doing it with my global media partner, CSI Sports™/FIGHT SPORTS®,” said Mayweather.
In a professional boxing career that spanned three decades, Mayweather is known for his impeccable defensive skills, speed and strategic ring generalship. He has expertly managed a remarkable career, amassing an unblemished and unmatched record of 50 wins with no losses, while decisively beating the very best of the era. He is responsible for all three of the highest grossing boxing events in history—vs. Manny Pacquiao, Conor McGregor and Canelo Alvarez, and has remained a prominent figure in the sport even after his official retirement.
Additional details including event dates, broadcast information, and Mayweather’s opponent for his first sanctioned return fight will be announced in the coming weeks.
