He's since worked himself into great shape and now received his first approach.
Australian boxing promoter Brian Amatruda told the : "The first thing I did was contact [celebrity agent] Max Markson and ask him to offer Tyson $1m.
"Max brought him to Australia in 2012. He gets on well with him and his wife but the main thing is that he got him a visa to get into the country back then and that's the key."
The potential opponents Amatruda named - Barry Hall, Paul Gallen and Sonny Bill Williams - are all famous names in Australian rules football or rugby league who have previously crossed over for boxing matches.
He explained: "I'd hold it at Melbourne Arena where we'd get over 10,000 or even Princes Park where they got 30,000 for Jeff Fenech versus Azumah Nelson.
"He might be 53 years old but he's still a huge name and any of those blokes Hall, Gallen or Sonny Bill would jump at the chance to get into the ring with him.
"I'd make it part of a card with a world title fight for Tayla [Harris] on it. It would be enormous. Not just a fight, it would be an event."
