Boxing promoter Frank Warren believes Joe Calzaghe may yet be tempted back into the ring.

Calzaghe, 36, the longest-reigning world title-holder in boxing history, announced his retirement last week after a professional career spanning almost two decades.

But the Welshman - who held the WBO super-middleweight for two weeks short of 11 years - could be back before long, claims Warren.

‘A lot of people say it's not for money - but it is,’ Warren told Radio 5 Live's Sportsweek.

‘At the end of the day, that's what it is. If the right fight comes up and the terms are right, I'm sure he would consider it - and knowing Joe, he might even take it.’
