According to the German press, former IBF and WBA super middleweight champ Sven Ottke could be coming back to face Dariusz Michalczewski May 24 in Hannover.

Michalczewski, 48-2 and former longtime WBO light heavyweight ruler, should have fought another oldtimer in Graciano Rocchigiani but "Rocky" have pulled out. Ottke makes no ifs and buts about why he is coming back: money - Ottke retired well off but an expensive divorce have cost him a lot of money. The fight with Michalczewski is not a done deal yet but should be signed next week.

Ottke, 34-0, retired in 2004 after 20 successful title defenses. Michalczewski quit in 2005 after first losing the WBO light heavyweight belt and then to then WBA cruiser king Fabrice Tiozzo. Both men have their best days far behind them but should be fresh enough to make it interesting. The fight would be made at 185-pounds.
