While the world was watching football last night, we found out that Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather will be boxing next year. BetOnline is one of the few sportsbooks that offers betting on exhibition fights like this one.
There hasn't been an old-man cash grab of this magnitude since Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau in Grumpy Old Men.
The fight is set for a TBD date in Spring 2026, and both guys will almost have their AARP card by that time.
BetOnline.ag set odds on the exhibition bout early Friday morning, opening up Mayweather as a hefty favorite against the 58-year-old Tyson.
“This fight is something neither the world nor I ever thought would or could happen," Tyson said of the spring exhibition fight. "However, boxing has entered a new era of the unpredictable—and this fight is as unpredictable as it gets. I still can’t believe Floyd wants to really do this. It’s going to be detrimental to his health, but he wants to do it, so it’s signed and it’s happening!”
There are also odds for whether or not the fight will take place by June 2026, and the numbers just slightly favor it going down.
Fight Odds
Mike Tyson +300
Floyd Mayweather -500
Will the Mayweather-Tyson fight happen by June 2026?
Yes -150
No +110
