The icon Floyd Mayweather makes a professional comeback

The soon-to-be 49-year-old superstar Floyd Mayweather will return to the boxing ring. "I still have what it takes," he said in a statement, according to several media outlets.

Mayweather is making a professional comeback, putting his undefeated status on the line. The comeback will take place after his scheduled exhibition fight against Mike Tyson.

The match against Tyson is reportedly scheduled for April in Congo-Kinshasa - a nod to the legendary fight between George Foreman and Muhammad Ali in 1974.

Who he will face in his subsequent return to the professional ring is unknown, although his former rival Manny Pacquiao, who is also making a comeback this spring, has said he wants to face Mayweather again.
