Iron Mike looked significantly different from his appearance last November when he fought Jake Paul in his first professional bout in 20 YEARS.
Initially, many thought this would be a short comeback until he shared news of the fight with Mayweather.
Tyson was seen for the first time since the announcement, attending the Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford match in Las Vegas.
The heavyweight icon shared a moment with YouTube sensation MrBeast, landing one of his classic body shots.
MrBeast, whose real name is James Stephen Donaldson, dropped to his knees after experiencing a glimpse of Tyson’s power.
No specific date or venue has been announced for Tyson’s exhibition match against Mayweather, with it tentatively scheduled for spring next year.
Mayweather officially hung up his gloves in 2017 after defeating ex-UFC champion Conor McGregor in a ten-round match that netted him around £250m.
Despite his retirement, Mayweather has remained active, partaking in exhibition bouts against various figures from boxing, MMA, and the social media realm.
