Indonesian boxer Daud Cino Yordan will fight British opponent Anthony colla in a WBA 135-pound title eliminator in Britain later this year, Indonesia's promoter said on Wednesday.

The bout will take place at the Manchester Arena in Manchester on November 10, said Gustiantira Alandy, CEO of Mahkota Promotions, the promoter of Yordan in Indonesia.

The bout of Yordan and Crolla will be on the undercard of Oleksandr Usyk from Ukraine versus Tony Bellow from Britain, according to the promoter.

Yordan of 31 years old has a record of 38 wins with 26 KO's and four losses, and Crolla has 33 wins with 13 KO's and six losses.

The best fighter that Yordan defeated in the last five years is Maxwell Awuku, whom he beat by a close 12 round in unanimous decision.

In his last fight on April 22, Yordan knocked out Russian fighter Pavel Malikov in WBO intercontinental lightweight title.

Crolla is a former WBA lightweight champion whose title was taken by Linares.

The winner of the forthcoming fight will be the World Boxing Association mandatory challenger to WBA lightweight champion Vasyl Lamachenko, the promoter said.
