Iron Mike, who last fought professionally 15 years ago, has been stepping up his training in recent weeks.
He has received numerous big-money offers – including from former rugby star Sonny Bill Williams and Tyson Fury’s dad John – but will only entertain more serious offers.
As SunSport revealed over the weekend, Tyson is only willing to step into the ring with a “bona fide” opponent as he doesn’t want to disrespect the sport he loves.
A source said: “Mike has ruled out the prospect of the exhibition bout in Australia because he does not want to fight a cross-over athlete.
“If Mike returns to boxing, it will only be to fight another bona fide boxer.
“Mike believes anything else would be an insult to the sport.”

A trilogy match with fellow retiree Evander Holyfield, 57, is certainly gaining traction with Tyson’s rival set to make his own comeback for charity.
The Real Deal is certainly up for a scrap.
Holyfield said: “It wouldn’t bother me to do so.
“Even though I’m four years older than him, it wouldn’t be a problem.”
Speaking on his podcast over the weekend, Tyson said: “I know the art of fighting, I know the art of war.
“That’s all I ever studied. That’s why I’m so feared, that’s why they feared me when I was in the ring. Because I was an annihilator.
“That’s all I was born for. Now those days are gone, it’s empty, I’m nothing.
“I feel unstoppable now. I feel the same again. The gods of war ignited my ego and want me to go to war again.
“Imagine if I went out there and fought and I could help all these people we talked about.”
On the Instagram training video, Tyson wrote the caption: “Anything is possible when you are smart about it. Train Smart. Recover Smarter.”
Fans were stunned by how good the retired boxer looked, with one fan writing: “Awesome!”, while another added: “Beast.”
Another wrote “Holy actual f***” on the video which racked up over 1.5million in less than an hour.
