Morell Might Change Weight Classes

WBA World super middleweight champion (up to 76.2 kg) David Morell (10-0, 9 KOs) may move up to the light heavyweight category (up to 79.4 kg) in his next fight. The most likely opponent for the Cuban is Radivoje Kalajdzic (29-2, 21 KOs), an American of Serbian descent.
