Floyd Mayweather’s bizarre exhibition with Mike Tyson has now taken a fresh logistical turn for the worse.
The surprise showdown between 50-0 legend Mayweather and iconic heavyweight Tyson was announced in shock circumstances last year.
A date and venue were not included on the original promo, but Tyson suggested the bout will take place in April in Africa.
It was suggested that the event would take place in Congo, the site of the famous ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman.
But, boxing insider Dan Rafael has suggested that the event has yet to have any details officially confirmed.

He has in fact suggested that a date has yet to be made official, and it could well now be pushed back.
And he has suggested although Congo has been earmarked, a venue has also yet to be officially slated in the contract.
Despite Mayweather’s planned busy series in boxing, it is still believed the bout could go ahead, given he is contractually obliged to the clash.
This is despite Mayweather announcing a showdown with 18-time kickboxing champion Mike Zambidis in Greece in June.
If a showdown with 59-year-old Tyson is to still materialise, it is likely the bout with Zambidis too would be forced to push back.
