Kalajdzic Drops Richards Late to Seal Zuffa Boxing Win
Radivoje Kalajdzic defeated Craig Richards by unanimous decision at Zuffa Boxing 11 on September 26, 2026, at Copper Box Arena in London. All three judges scored the light heavyweight co-main event 97–92.
The Fight and Its Context
The ten-round fight swung between Kalajdzic’s pressure and Richards’ counterattacks. Richards had success to the body and forced the Florida-based Serbian to work through difficult exchanges, but Kalajdzic kept responding.
Kalajdzic landed the most decisive late sequence, dropping Richards just before the final bell. The knockdown capped his second Zuffa Boxing victory and moved his professional record to 31–3.
Event Context
The London card also featured Radivoje Kalajdzic’s unanimous-decision win over Craig Richards in the light-heavyweight co-main event. A separate Misfits event in Miami on the same date featured Henry Cejudo’s split-decision victory in his professional boxing debut and Tony Ferguson’s second-round stoppage of Mahmoud Fawzy Sebie. Those results belonged to the Miami show, rather than the London card.
The judges’ verdict is part of the result, not a detail to be inferred from the headline. The reported scores show whether the panel agreed or whether at least one judge saw the contest differently. Where the scores are available, they are included with the official decision so readers can distinguish a unanimous result from a split or majority verdict. A decision also means the bout reached its scheduled conclusion; it should not be described as a stoppage.
