Golden Boy Promotions chief Richard Schaefer says Joe Calzaghe is considering a comeback to boxing to fight Bernard Hopkins again.
The Welshman retired in February 2009 with an undefeated 46-fight record behind him, but there has been talk of him returning to the ring.
Calzaghe beat Hopkins courtesy of a split decision at light heavyweight in his penultimate fight, but it was far from a satisfactory performance.
The former undisputed super middleweight king has had his personal problems since retiring, and it is now thought one final big pay-day in the ring would ease some of those worries.
Calzaghe's final fight was an impressive dismantling of Roy Jones Jr in 2008, but both he and Hopkins are said to be keen on a rematch.
"Joe has expressed interest and so has Bernard," said Schaefer in the Daily Mail. "We will try to make it happen in the autumn."
Veteran Hopkins has continued to fight in Calzaghe's absence, with unanimous points decisions against Enrique Ornelas and Jones Jnr, just last month, his last two fights.
'The Executioner' is never one to let a defeat rest and it would be no surprise if he was interested in avenging his narrow loss to the Welshman.

Mix him up with a few of the supersix at a catchweight or 175 .They'll get alot better payday against Calzaghe than the supersix so a we move up would be well worth it .
why come back to face b-hop? if you're gonna come back then grab ya balls and fight chad dawson. if you need a tune up fight then fine, have one. but don't waste your loyal fans' time with this bullshit re-run that was boring the first time. no-one gives a shit about this match-up. are u gonna give rjj a re-match too?
i'm convinced that if joe made a serious comeback he would still be able to go with the best, so he should quit worrying about his 'zero' and fight someone who is relevant. this is all about money, and that sucks big time...
oh no...what now Hopkins Vs Calzaghe II???....hops should just retire...and calzaghe if he wants make a comeback..not that im bothered either way if he does or if he dosnt
