Zak Chelli Signs with Zuffa Boxing

Fulham boxer Zak Chelli has signed a multi-fight deal with Zuffa Boxing. Chelli's fights will be broadcast on Sky Sports. Chelli's first bout for Zuffa Boxing will be announced shortly.

Chelli earned the best win of his career against Cuba's David Morrell. Chelli drew the attention of the boxing world by beating Morrell with an impressive knockout. Morrell is a top light heavyweight who has held WBA regular titles at 168 and 175 pounds and went the distance with David Benavidez in a WBC interim title fight.

Chelli won the British, Commonwealth and English titles. He beat Jack Cullen to take the Lonsdale belt and the Commonwealth title. While he was English super-middleweight champion, he beat Germaine Brown. After losing to Callum Simpson at the Oakwell stadium in Barnsley, he knocked out Adam Hepple to win the English light heavyweight title.

Chelli has joined Zuffa Boxing's light heavyweight roster. The roster also includes Radivoje "Hot Rod" Kalajdzic and Joe Ward. Chelli said he was grateful for the opportunity and that he was pleased his fights will be shown on Sky Sports again.
