FLOYD MAYWEATHER revealed he is in talks to make a return to professional boxing to put his 50-0 record on the line.
The American great retired in 2017 after beating UFC superstar Conor McGregor in their crossover clash.
But Mayweather has continued to box in exhibitions since against stars of the boxing, MMA and social media world.
His latest money-making exercise is set to come against Mike Tyson next year after the pair signed to fight in an exhibition.
And Mayweather has also refused to rule out returning to the ring for real for his first pro bout in nearly ten years.
He told TMZ Sports: “There’s been talks. There’s been talks. It’s possible.
“We just don’t know. But as of right now, everything is going great, and I feel good. Working hard every day and I can’t wait for 2026.”
Manny Pacquiao – who Mayweather beat in 2015 – returned after six years out in July and challenged Mario Barrios for the WBC world title.
Pacquiao, 46, drew and now looks set to fight on with rumours of a rematch with Mayweather, 48, persisting.
Mayweather’s last exhibition was in August 2024 against the grandson of notorious New York crime boss John Gotti.

Tyson, 59, meanwhile made a comeback last November for his first fight back in 20 YEARS to face YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, 28.
Iron Mike lost over eight shorter rounds of two minutes and now looks set to face Mayweather next spring after signing the exhibition contract.
Speaking out for the first time, Tyson told rapper Fat Joe at a Hard Rock Bet VIP event: “I was minding my own business.
“I wasn’t bothering nobody. He just wanted to pick a fight.”
