Ricky Hatton has reportedly shelved retirement plans and is plotting a November comeback.
There has been much conjecture surrounding the Manchester fighter's future ever since he suffered a devastating second-round knockout defeat to pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao in May.
A number of high-profile figures in the boxing community called on the 30-year-old to retire after that loss, but Hatton has instead taken time out to weigh up his options.
He has always said he does not want to end his career on a loss and is now believed to be back in the gym training for a return.
Unbeaten WBA welterweight champion Vyacheslav Senchenko, 31, is thought to be one of the names under consideration with Manchester's MEN Arena or Cardiff's Millennium Stadium both potential venues.
Fellow Briton Amir Khan is another possible opponent, although that will be reliant on the 22-year-old winning the WBA light-welterweight title from Andreas Kotelnik on Saturday night.
