Morrell will move up a weight class after being champion at super middleweight and will contest the belt against Kaladjzic at a weight where Dmitry Bivol is the super champion and waits for his fight against Artur Beterbiev.

Kalajdzic is settled in the division and has five wins in a row, the four most recent in that streak have been by knockout. The Serbian trains in the United States and has made his entire career there, which is a plus for him.
Morrell is undefeated in 10 fights, with 9 knockouts, while Kalajdzic has 29 wins, 2 setbacks and 21 knockouts.
