YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - Former Middleweight Champion Kelly Pavlik retired from boxing in 2012.

Now, at age 36, is he thinking about making a comeback?

Pavlik appeared on the Joe Rogan podcast last week and discussed the possibility of fighting again as a cruiserweight.

"I'm really thinking about it," Pavlik told Rogan. Adding, "I would have to sit down with my family to discuss it."

The website fightnights.com reports it learned Pavlik is likely to return to the ring and has been training in California.

21 Sports has reached out to Pavlik, but have not heard back from him.
