Mike Tyson’s planned exhibition against Floyd Mayweather has been delayed after Tyson suffered a broken hand while training for the fight. The 59-year-old former heavyweight champion was reportedly seen wearing a cast as organizers pushed the event back until later this year.

The former heavyweight champion had been scheduled to face Mayweather in a May 30 exhibition before the injury delayed the event until later this year. FIGHT SPORTS® says a new date, venue, and broadcast details will be announced soon.

“Global superstars Mike Tyson and undefeated Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather (50-0), who signed to get in the ring in an exhibition this Spring, will have a short moment to wait while Tyson fully recovers from a broken hand he injured during training.”

“Tyson, who was seen sporting a cast while he continues to work through a smooth recovery, is looking forward to the fight that will be rescheduled to a date in the Fall of 2026.”

“The date, venue, and FIGHT SPORTS® broadcast plans will be announced shortly.”

The release described the postponement as temporary despite the late change to the schedule.

“The Legend vs Legend exhibition, per agreements with CSI Sports™/FIGHT SPORTS®, was originally scheduled for May 30 and will only see a short postponement.”

CSI Sports also promoted its partnership with Tyson and Mayweather in the announcement.
