Yeah he is coming back. He wants to fight the winner of the Maskaev-Peter fight.
If he does, wins, then him and Wlad will reign supreme in the heavyweight division.
Wlad mentioned this in the post-fight ring interveiw.

Let's look at some of the opponents Vitali may face. Give honest opinions about the following. Below is what I think.

Vitali VS Chagaev = Vitali Win
Vitali VS Maskaev = Vitali Win
Vitali VS Peter = Vitali Win
Vitali VS Valuev = Unsure

I know there is more opponents, but to be honest I think Vitali (if he fights like he did before he retired) will dominate the whole thing. Valuev, although beaten by Chagaev, I reckon will be a tough opponent just because of his size.

Opinions?
