The boxing fraternity is on tenterhooks as Floyd Mayweather Jr. teases a return to professional competition. The man with the unblemished 50-0 record, retired since his 2017 McGregor triumph, is now pondering official fights. This revelation promises to reignite passions in a sport he once ruled.
That McGregor bout, a 10th-round TKO masterstroke, crowned his five-division reign. Far from fading, Mayweather has headlined exhibitions galore—pros, MMA converts, and A-listers—proving his enduring allure.
Following his Mexico showdown with John Gotti III in August 2024, the 48-year-old gears up for an April 2026 spectacle against 59-year-old Mike Tyson in Congo. Their age-defying face-off, totaling over a century, is already boxing’s hottest ticket.
Boasting peerless gate receipts and audience figures, Mayweather sees this as a potential pro pivot—his first in nearly nine years. Stakeholders watch closely: could this herald a new era for the legend? Devotees worldwide unite in hope for the ring’s return of the king.
