Boxing executive Mark Taffett announced on social media: "Very excited to announce our new venture’s first event... and it’s a mega-event —- the two biggest worldwide names in the sport since the 1980s —- Mike Tyson vs Floyd Mayweather! Like Holyfield Foreman in ’91, it’s great to launch with a big one! Proud to be part of another of the sport’s biggest events ever and to be doing it with Rich/Craig Miele and CSI Sports! We are here to make legacies." Note: unlike Holyfield-Foreman who were both active boxers at the time of their fight-- Holyfield was the world heavyweight champion at the time-- Tyson-Mayweather will be an exhibition bout. Tyson turns 60 next year.
