Despite the announcement for this Saturday in Kinshasa, the lack of official information raises doubts. The fight evokes the historic “Rumble in the Jungle” with special exhibition rules.

Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather Jr. are scheduled to face each other this Saturday, April 25 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The event, promoted as “Legend vs. Legend,” is shrouded in official silence that puts its staging at risk, as no logistical movements or recent press conferences have been reported at the venue.

Tyson comes into this event at nearly 60 years old and with a history of serious health issues during his previous preparation for the bout with Jake Paul. For his part, Mayweather continues his run of exhibitions to capitalize on his “Money” brand, amid rumors about his financial situation that allegedly led him to accept this challenge in Africa.
