Tyson shut down any hopes of a match with a vicious putdown he was famous for in his fighting days, after getting in touch with Sydney-based promoter Mark Markson.
“Mike felt it would be an insult to boxing if he fought a footballer,” Markson revealed.
“He doesn’t have any interest in coming to Australia at the moment – plus, there is no international travel anyway because of the coronavirus – but said if anything changes I’ll be the first to know.”
Tyson has also been the subject of an alleged $20 million offer from Bare Knuckle Fight Club (BKFC) to make an ungloved return to the ring, as well as a prospective acceptance of a call from Russian MMA fighter Sergei Kharitonov to meet under boxing rules.
