London native Richards (20-4-1, 13 KOs) is a world-ranked former British champion who gave long-reigning world champion Dmitry Bivol all he could handle in their 2021 title fight. He went 2-0 in 2025, including a KO over former British, Commonwealth, and English champion Dan Azeez.
The bout will mark new territory for the hard-hitting, Serbian-born Kalajdzic (30-3, 22 KOs), who will fight outside North America for the first time as a professional. Kalajdzic was victorious at ZUFFA BOXING 02 in February, rising from knockdowns in the first and fourth rounds to score a seventh-round stoppage over former world champion Oleksandr “The Nail” Gvozdyk.
