Terence Crawford sees only one winner in Mike Tyson vs Floyd Mayweather | Boxing News
In two months, Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather Jr will meet in an unconventional exhibition bout in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Ahead of the clash, recently retired pound-for-pound star Terence Crawford has admitted he sees only one possible winner.
With Floyd Mayweather’s professional comeback on the horizon, many fans are intrigued to see how the undefeated 49-year-old will look in his ring return against the once ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’.
Whilst Mayweather has been officially inactive for almost 11 years as a professional, ‘TBE’ has kept himself in shape through the use of many lucrative exhibition contests, this being his ninth non-sanctioned appearance since hanging up the gloves.
Meanwhile, ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson retired from the sport after defeat to Kevin McBride in 2005, but he made a controversial return in November 2024, when he was outboxed by YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, suffering a seventh professional defeat.
Now, despite Mayweather having reigned as a super-featherweight world champion and Mike Tyson spending his entire career at heavyweight, the two are set to meet in Kinshasa — the site of the iconic “Rumble in the Jungle,” where Muhammad Ali knocked out George Foreman.
Speaking on ‘The Joe Rogan Experience‘ podcast ahead of the fight, five-division world champion Crawford revealed that, despite his physical disadvantages, he is expecting Mayweather to dominate proceedings, due to Tyson’s performance against Paul.
“He [Mike Tyson] is not going to land a fist on [Mayweather], not after his last performance.”
