The Mayweather return is real now.
You can’t call it a comeback because he’s been here before. For years. He’s never lost and is still undefeated.
He’s having an exhibition against Mike Tyson first.
Then it is the real thing later in 2026 where either a world title fight or possible a big Pacman rematch awaits.
Here’s some of the reaction so far from the boxing world to the big news:
The fight is on but it just has not been announced yet.
In terms of who the first pro boxing opponent could be.
A world title fight or Pacman rematch surely.
If he fights with Zuffa Boxing they can make it for a Zuffa Boxing belt at a catchweight even.
It would still be a massive fight.
Everything is changing now in boxing in terms of the world title organizations being less relevant.
So a big fight with Mayweather and Pacman for the Zuffa Boxing belt on Paramount Plus in the US and on the UFC channels and others will be big.
Can be arranged, surely.
Mayweather retired 50-0 and unbeaten as a professional boxing after the Conor McGregor fight.
Here’s a breakdown of Mayweather and Terence Crawford’s career achievements we put together recently.
‘Bud’ Crawford retired from boxing very recently as well.
