Former British world‑title contender Craig Richards is set to headline a ten‑round light‑heavyweight clash against Serbian‑born puncher Radivoje Kalajdzic, while fellow Briton Lee Cutler will meet Louis Greene in a middleweight bout, all on Zuffa Boxing’s Johnny Fisher event at London’s Copper Box Arena. The Richards‑Kalajdzic contest will act as the premier undercard fight to the heavyweight headline featuring Johnny Fisher at Zuffa Boxing 11, scheduled for September 26 and broadcast live on Sky Sports.
A future opponent for Fisher, nicknamed "The Romford Bull," is expected to be disclosed in the coming days. Richards, who carries a record of 20‑4‑1 with 13 knockouts, is a former British champion and a world‑ranked light‑heavyweight. He most recently challenged Dmitry Bivol for the WBA light‑heavyweight crown in 2021 and has rebounded with two victories in 2025, including a decisive knockout of Dan Azeez in December of that year. His experience and resilience make him a formidable opponent for Kalajdzic.
Kalajdzic, a 30‑year‑old veteran boasting a 30‑3 ledger and 22 stoppages, will be fighting outside North America for the first time in his professional career. The 35‑year‑old power‑puncher’s last appearance saw him deliver a seventh‑round knockout of Oleksandr Gvozdyk in February, underscoring his reputation as a hard‑hitting contender. The London venue will test his adaptability to a new audience and a different boxing environment.
The same evening will also showcase a ten‑round middleweight showdown between British fighters Lee Cutler and Louis Greene. Cutler earned a points victory over Stevie McKenna in December 2024, handing the Irish knockout specialist his sole professional loss to date. Greene, a former Commonwealth super‑welterweight champion, recently secured a points win against Daniel Buciuc in Dublin.
Both men will be looking to cement their positions in the British middleweight hierarchy. Additional highlights on the Copper Box Arena card include the professional debut of Kayla Allen, a decorated British amateur who has become the first female athlete to sign with Zuffa Boxing. Allen’s transition to the pro ranks adds a historic dimension to the night.
Also featured are Alex MacMillan, Leon Hughes, and Fred Pullen, the latter of whom is also making his professional debut, promising a night rich with emerging talent. In a pre‑fight interview on Sky Sports News, Richards—known as "Spider"—expressed his enthusiasm: "It's a very exciting fight.
Everyone knows Kalajdzic can punch, I can punch, we've both been two fighters who haven't shied away from competition. We've been in with everyone, we've mixed it, we both probably want to push on now towards that world title and I feel like it's a great opportunity." He continued, "UK vs USA – that mix always goes down well! I'm up for it, I'm excited and I think this is now going to be the best version of me going into the new chapter and I get to go and display what I'm about. I feel like my story is not written yet and I feel like I need to write it now." Richards also highlighted the challenges he has faced in securing opponents, noting, "The problem we had before is that a lot of opponents were turning [a fight with] me down, saying 'he's a hard fight, he's a long night in the office'.
Zuffa doesn't allow you to do that, and that means I can get some activity. I can go out there and make a statement." Kalajdzic, for his part, has spoken about his ambition to prove himself on the European stage, emphasizing his desire to showcase the power that earned him a reputation in North America. Both fighters are expected to bring aggressive styles, making the bout a potential highlight of the evening.
