Floyd Mayweather is expected to make his eagerly anticipated return to the ring in 2026.
The 50-0 legend officially retired from professional boxing after knocking out UFC superstar Conor McGregor in August 2017.
Since then, Floyd Mayweather has had eight exhibition bouts against low-level opponents such as Logan Paul, Deji, and Aaron Chalmers.
‘Money’ hasn’t fought since going eight rounds with John Gotti III in a non-scored bout in August 2024.

Andre Berto wants to rematch Floyd Mayweather in a different sport
Floyd Mayweather easily outpointed Andre Berto over 12 rounds in the penultimate fight of his professional career.
One of the judges scored every round for Mayweather when he fought the former two-time welterweight champion in August 2015.
A decade later, Berto thinks he could give a much better account of himself if they were to rematch in a different sport.

Floyd Mayweather’s next fight
Floyd Mayweather has signed a deal to fight heavyweight boxing legend Mike Tyson in 2026.

Together, the boxing legends sold 4.4 million pay-per-views and generated $410 million in revenue when they headlined the highest-grossing PPV of all time in May 2015.
10 years later, a Netflix rematch of the biggest boxing bout of all time is being ‘seriously discussed.’
Only time will tell whether Mayweather will face Tyson, Pacquiao, Berto, or someone else in his next fight.
There’s only one thing that seems certain: Mayweather will return to the ring at some point in 2026.
