Boxing has returned to the spotlight in combat sports due to high-profile fights involving top-level professional fighters, celebrities, and even retired legends. In fact, two icons of the traditional sport are expected to return to the ring. Floyd Mayweather e Mike Tyson estão em negociações avançadas para a realização de uma superluta de exibição no dia 25 de abril, na República Democrática do Congo.

The information was released by the journalist. Mike Coppinger, a boxing specialist, last Monday (16). It is true that the former world champions are of advanced age to compete, but the news is not surprising, given that both have come out of retirement. It is worth noting that the fighters themselves previously confirmed that they would face each other in the current season, but did not disclose the date or location.
