Craig Christian, WBA featherweight champion Chris John's trainer, manager and promoter informed to this correspondent that John's mandatory fight against Panamanian Roinnet Caballero will be conducted in February 2008 in Indonesia. However, the exact location and date will be decided later. During the long wait until February, Chris John will conduct another title fight on December 16 in Perth, Australia, on the undercard of the WBA light heavyweight title match between Danny Green vs Stipe "Spiderman" Drews. "I will tell you the opponent's name within days," said Christian via an international call. Talking about the February 2008 title match in Indonesia, Christian also informed that he will offer Indonesia's rising star Daud Cino Yordan to fight on the John-Cabalero undercard against former Uganda 2000 Olympian "Action" Jackson Asiku, who's now Christian's pupil and John's sparmate at Harry's Gym. In Indonesia, Yordan's name became very popular after his promoter Daniel Bahari held a press conference earlier this year saying that he prepared Yordan to face Chris John in the future. In the meantime, Yordan, currently WBO featherweight Asia Pacific Youth champion, is scheduled to fight against Ghana's Theophilus Quaye in Jakarta, November 29 in a WBO non-title match.
