Already gearing up for a massive exhibition clash with Mike Tyson next year, Floyd Mayweather has staggeringly hinted at another surprise return to the ring.
Inking a deal earlier this month to return to the squared circle, unbeaten former multi-division world champion Floyd Mayweather will compete in an exhibition clash with heavyweight star Mike Tyson.
And set to turn in yet another exhibition clash following his official retirement back in 2017, Mayweather will set foot in the ring under those circumstances for a ninth time.
However, in a shocking turn of events, the Michigan technician revealed plans to potentially go one further and put his pro record up for grabs.

Floyd Mayweather plays up pro boxing return next year
In a week in which we’ve seen former middleweight world champion Gennady Golovkin tease a potential return to the ring for the first time in three years, fans can potentially expect Mayweather to follow suit, too.
Yet to fight professionally since joining the exclusive 50-0 club back in 2017, Mayweather turned in his historic final win with a dominant tenth-round TKO win over crossover UFC megastar Conor McGregor.
However, while discussing his exhibition clash with veteran rival Tyson, Mayweather revealed plans have been thrashed out for him to make a professional return to the ring.
“There have been talks. There have been talks. It’s possible,” Mayweather told TMZ Sports of a professional boxing return.
“I’m not really training right now. The fight [with Mike Tyson] is in 2026. We’re still ironing out everything,” Mayweather explained. “But I’m pretty sure it’s going to be exciting for the people and the fans.”
Floyd Mayweather’s many retirements from boxing
Over the course of his decorated career in the ring, Mayweather has ended his career time and time again.
Eventually making numerous comebacks, of course, the Grand Rapids star would most notably retire after improving to 49-0 with a routine win over Andre Berto, before returning two years later to score a lucrative fight with McGregor.
Earlier on during his tenure, Mayweather spent considerable time away from the ring after fights with the likes of Oscar De La Hoya, before returning to face the late Ricky Hatton in the pair’s title showdown.
