Read it, and believe it: Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather have agreed to a fight. The two boxing legends will face off for an exhibition bout sometime next year.

The fight does not have an announced date or location yet, but they are targeting a time in spring 2026. TMZ first announced the news, with Uncrowned confirming the details. Tyson also announced the fight on X Thursday.

The exhibition will reportedly not appear on either of their official records, which is especially good for Mayweather, who currently boasts a stunning 50-0 record across pro fights.

Tyson teased a poster for the bout on his social media, with the matchup reportedly being billed as "Legend vs. Legend."

Not many know Tyson was in a hospital and almost died shortly before that last fight with Jake Paul.

He was severely compromised leading to a lackluster performance.

Mike Tyson should be healthier and better here.

I think at some point Floyd will eat more than one good body shot.

And I don't know if Floyd can take it the way Roy Jones did.

Floyd has never really been hit that hard in his career.

In the aftermath of the Roy Jones Jr vs Mike Tyson exhibition match.

Roy Jones was mad at Mike Tyson for hitting him with those body shots.

Mike says: "But you took it. You took it. That's what matters." (something like that)

Whatever agreement they have, if Floyd eats a few nasty body shots, I won't be surprised.

Mike Tyson also did "exhibition bouts" with Corey "T Rex" Sanders back in the day.

Corey Sanders took a beating in those.

This is the type of move Floyd would usually avoid making.
