Floyd Mayweather, who turns 49 later this month, announced his retirement after his fight with Mike Tyson in April.

Following an exhibition match against Tyson, Mayweather is scheduled to resume his professional career with his first fight in the summer of 2026, with an opponent to be confirmed at a later date.

This marks Mayweather’s fourth return from retirement since he came out of retirement in 2007, 2015, and most recently following fights with Conor McGregor in 2017. At the time, he had a 50-0 record.

“I still have what it takes to set more records in the sport of boxing,” Mayweather said. “From my upcoming Mike Tyson fight to my next pro fight, no one will be able to create a bigger gate, reach a bigger global broadcast audience and make more money from each fight than my fights.”

The 48-year-old American has signed with CSI Sports/Fight Sports.

In a professional boxing career that spanned 30 years, Mayweather amassed an impeccable and unmatched record of 50 wins, no losses, and decisively beat the best records of his time.

He is responsible for all three of the highest-grossing boxing events in history against Manny Pacquiao, McGregor and Canelo Alvarez.
