By 104 0

Former undefeated boxing champion Floyd Mayweather has announced he will come out of retirement for the fourth time and return to professional boxing later this year. The 48-year-old legend, who last fought professionally in 2017, confirmed he plans to step back into the ring after an exhibition bout against fellow former champion Mike Tyson scheduled for this spring. No opponent, date, or venue has yet been revealed for the professional comeback.

Mayweather’s last official professional fight was his famous victory over Conor McGregor in 2017, where he won by 10th-round technical knockout to finish his career with a perfect 50-0 record. Throughout his career, he captured world titles in five different weight classes and became one of boxing’s biggest global draws. Since retiring, he has remained active through exhibition matches, including his most recent bout against John Gotti III in August 2024.

In a statement, Mayweather expressed confidence in his abilities and said he still has what it takes to break more records. He also emphasized the massive financial and global appeal of his events, pointing to his history of headlining record-breaking fights against top stars like Manny Pacquiao and Canelo Alvarez. His upcoming exhibition with Tyson and the planned professional return signal that one of boxing’s most iconic figures is not yet finished with the sport.

After a bottle was thrown, Mike Tyson punched a plane passenger

By 837 0

Mike Tyson, a former heavyweight boxer, punched a fellow airline passenger who “threw a water bottle at him,” according to Tyson’s spokesperson.

The onboard video shows Tyson repeatedly punching an unidentified man while leaning over his seat. Tyson had an “incident with an aggressive passenger” who was “harassing him,” according to a spokesperson for the boxing legend.

Two people were temporarily detained after police were dispatched. One person was treated for non-life-threatening injuries at San Francisco International Airport. In a statement, a spokeswoman for the San Francisco Police Department said, “That subject provided minimal details of the incident and refused to cooperate further with the police investigation.”

 “Pending further investigation,” both people were released. Neither of the individuals involved was identified by the department. The attack happened on a JetBlue flight before it took off from San Francisco to Florida on 20th April night. Tyson had agreed to take a picture with the passenger at the start of the flight, according to TMZ.

Despite Tyson’s requests to “chill,” the man continued to harass him. Another person can be heard calling out “hey Mike, Mike” in an apparent attempt to calm Tyson while another person tries to push him away in the video of Tyson striking his fellow passenger. The passenger’s forehead is then shown, which appears to be bloodied. “We are aware of the video that may have captured the incident,” the San Francisco Police Department said.

The video was forwarded to the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office, which is in charge of the investigation.
