Mike Tyson is no longer the only “hardcore” Floyd Mayweather plans to face in 2026.
Mayweather has added a third fight to his 2026 schedule. In addition to scheduled fights with Mike Tyson and Manny Pacquiao, Mayweather has now added a fight with a lesser-known crossover opponent.

Mayweather, 47, will face Greek kickboxer Mike Zambidis in an exhibition match at the Athens Telecom Center in June. The two fighters recently announced the news on social media. Exact dates, weights or rounds have not yet been determined.
The 45-year-old Greek fighter Zambidis is an 18-time kickboxing world champion and has won titles in the world version of W5, SUPERKOMBAT and K-1 tournaments. Nicknamed “Iron Man” Zambidis has not competed since June 2015.
The exhibition match between Mayweather and Tyson is tentatively scheduled for April 25 in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The professional fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao is scheduled for September 19 at the Sphere in Las Vegas and will be streamed on Netflix.

The Zambedi fight adds to Mayweather’s busy year. He hasn’t competed three times in the same year since 2022 when he had three exhibition games with Don Moore, Asakura and Deji Olatunji.
