Mike Tyson Announces Four-City Stage Show and Exhibition Fight With Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Former heavyweight champ Mike Tyson plans to hit the stage at four Hard Rock venues starting Nov. 9. He'll also step back into the ring against Floyd Mayweather Jr. next spring. His new show, Return of the Mike, will pull back the curtain on his past fights with addiction, mental health, and his time in the ring.

"After Undisputed Truth, people kept asking when I'd return, and now it's time — no holding back, no filter," said Tyson, according to PR Newswire. "We're going to have some fun, tell some truths, and remind everyone that I'm still swinging hard."

At 59, Tyson builds on the success of his 2013 show Undisputed Truth, which ran in 36 cities. His wife, Lakiha "Kiki" Tyso,n wrote the script. Cameras will roll at the Dec. 14 show in Hollywood, Florida, with plans to stream in 2026.

The ex-champ spoke about his match with Jake Paul, which drew 73,000 fans and 65 million viewers worldwide. "It was scary, because I hadn't walked out for a professional fight in front of a crowd in 20 years and I wasn't prepared for all the love the fans gave me that night. It overwhelmed me," Tyson said per ESPN.

Hard Rock's entertainment chief, Keith Sheldon, shared his take. "We're excited to give Mike Tyson fans exclusive access to one of the greatest athletes in history, in his most honest and entertaining form," he told ESPN.

Outside the ring, Tyson stays busy. His Hotboxin' with Mike Tyson podcast reaches 40 million listeners. Movie fans spot him in "The Hangover," its sequel, and the new film "Asphalt City."

The shows start at Hard Rock Casino Rockford, Illinois, on Nov. 9. Next stops: Cincinnati (Nov. 23), Hollywood, Florida (Dec. 14), and Atlantic City (Jan. 23, 2026).

Hard Rock members can buy tickets now at 10 a.m. Social media followers get access tomorrow. Public sales open Sept. 12 at 10 a.m. Get seats at HardRock.com/Tyson.
