- Craig Richards (20-4-1, 13 KOs) meets Radivoje Kalajdzic (30-3, 22 KOs) in a 10-round light heavyweight bout serving as chief support to Johnny Fisher's heavyweight main event at Zuffa Boxing 11, live on Sky Sports on September 26.
- Richards, a former British champion who challenged Dmitry Bivol for the WBA light-heavyweight title in 2021, has won his last two fights including a December 2025 knockout of Dan Azeez.
- Kalajdzic, 35, will fight outside North America for the first time as a professional; his last bout was a seventh-round knockout of Oleksandr Gvozdyk in February.
- Lee Cutler faces Louis Greene in a 10-round middleweight clash on the same Copper Box card, with Cutler entering off a third-round stoppage of Aaron Sutton in Bournemouth.
- Greene, a former Commonwealth super-welterweight champion, earned a points decision over Daniel Buciuc in Dublin last week, while Cutler's December 2024 win over Stevie McKenna remains McKenna's only professional defeat.
- Kayla Allen, a decorated British amateur, makes her professional debut on the bill as the first female fighter signed by Zuffa Boxing, alongside Alex MacMillan, Leon Hughes and pro-debuting Fred Pullen.
- Richards told Sky Sports News that Zuffa 'doesn't allow you to turn down' opponents, saying the promotion gives him the activity he needs to push toward another world title shot.
Why it matters: Zuffa Boxing is stacking a Sky Sports-televised London card with two meaningful 10-rounders around Johnny Fisher's heavyweight main event, giving Richards — stuck against Dmitry Bivol-level opposition — a guaranteed fight after opponents previously turned him down, and bringing Serbian puncher Kalajdzic to the UK for the first time.
