Radivoje Kalajdzic squares off with Mickey Ellison in Plant City, September 6
Former world title challenger Radivoje ‘Hot Rod’ Kalajdzic headlines ProBox TV’s Wednesday Night Fights against Mickey Ellison from the network's headquarters in Plant City, Florida, next week on September 6.
The Belgrade born Kalajdzic (27-2, 19 KOs) will go ten rounds with England’s Ellison (14-4, 5 KOs) in the light heavyweight division.
'Hot Rod' has picked up three straight victories since falling to hand of Artur Beterbiev when challenging for the IBF light heavyweight title in 2019, losing by 5th round stoppage. He comes off two knockout victories as he attempts a second run at a world title. Ernest Amuzu and Guillermo Ruben Andino were dispatched in the 1st and 4th rounds in Tampa and Mexico.
Brit boxer Ellison comes off two impressive victories against Jake Barton and Thomas Whittaker Hart. The Lancashire man stopped Barton to win a British regional title – the Central Area – last summer with a sixth round TKO. He followed that up with a ten round unanimous decision victory over the undefeated Whittaker Hart in a title defence this past October at Wembley Arena, London.

Sultan comes off points loss to Paul Butler for the WBO interim title last April.
