The exhibition boxing match between legends Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been confirmed for April 25 in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Initially planned for March in Africa, the bout was confirmed by Ring Magazine's Mike Coppinger and officially announced by Congo's Vice Premier Minister Mobutu Nzanga Ngbangawe via social media.
The event honors the legacy of the Rumble in the Jungle 52 years later. Tyson, 59, last fought in November 2024, losing to Jake Paul via unanimous decision. Mayweather, 48, hasn't fought professionally since 2017 but has had several exhibitions since retirement.
