Mike Tyson reveals sockless fights and battles stubborn foot fungus

Mike Tyson, the former heavyweight champion, has revealed an unusual fashion choice from his boxing days and is currently dealing with a severe foot fungus issue. Meanwhile, plans for an exhibition match against Floyd Mayweather Jr. next spring remain uncertain.

Tyson has confirmed that he used to fight without socks as a deliberate fashion statement during his career. However, his current challenge lies not in the ring but on his feet, as he battles a severe case of foot fungus.

Rumours have been circulating about a potential exhibition match against Floyd Mayweather Jr. in spring 2026. However, as of my last update in April 2024, I cannot verify the authenticity of these plans. Tyson himself has not officially announced any such matchup. In the meantime, Tyson is also considering another one-man show.

While Tyson's fashion choices and current health issues have been clarified, the status of a potential exhibition match against Floyd Mayweather Jr. remains uncertain. Fans eagerly await official announcements from Tyson's camp regarding his future plans.
