Mayweather vs Tyson: Date, Venue and Status

The exhibition between Floyd Mayweather Jr and Mike Tyson has been officially announced, and the promoter says both fighters have signed. What has not been publicly confirmed is the part that matters if you want to attend or watch: the final date, the venue, the broadcaster, commission approval and any ticket sale. This page tracks the real, dated status, with every claim sourced, and is updated only when something genuinely changes.

Has Mayweather vs Tyson been confirmed?

The matchup has been announced and the promoter, CSI Sports and its Fight Sports brand, says both men have signed. A full confirmation, the kind you can actually plan around, needs more than that: an agreed date, a named venue, a broadcaster and a sanctioning commission. Those have not been published yet, so treat any specific date, venue or ticket claim as reported rather than fixed.

What is the latest reported date and venue?

The most recent date attached to the fight is 26 September 2026 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. This comes from a court filing submitted by CSI Sports on 10 July 2026, not from a promoter announcement, and it is described as contingent on court hearing dates in August. Neither Mayweather's side nor an official promotional release has confirmed it. We are listing it because it is the most recent date reported, not because it is booked.

An official on-sale for tickets announced.
