Daud Yordan

Daud "Cino" Yordan (born 10 June 1987) is an Indonesian professional boxer and former IBO Featherweight and Lightweight Champion. He is ranked 18th in the Lightweight division according to BoxRec.

Daud was born in Ketapang, West Borneo, Indonesia on 10 June 1987. He is the fifth child of six children to Hermanus Lai Cun, a Chinese father and Natalia, a Dayak mother.

His former trainer, Carlos Jesus Penate Torres from Cuba give his nickname Cino (Chino in Spanish). Since then he is always known by the nickname.

He won his first 23 fights, most against national level opponents, which included notable wins against Surasak Makordae and José Antonio Meza Jimenez, the latter being his American debut. Yordan then fought Robert Guerrero , his first fight on HBO, where the fight ended as a no contest after an accidental head clash in the second round. After this he started fighting higher level opponents, beating Robert Allanic, by KO, and Ricky Sismundo, by TKO. Yordan suffered his first professional loss against the seasoned veteran Celestino Caballero by UD. He won his first minor belt ,the WBO Asia-Pacific Featherweight Title, after defeating Damian David Marchiano.

Yordan then fought for the WBA featherweight title against Chris John on 17 April 2011 at the Jakarta International Expo, Kemayoran, Central Jakarta where he lost by unanimous decision.. Yordan continued to fight higher level opponents which resulted in him winning the IBO featherweight title after beating Lorenzo Villanueva. He made his first defense of his title against Choi Tseveenpurev, which he won by UD. He then lost his title to Simpiwe Vetyeka after losing to him by a TKO in the twelfth round.

After this loss he moved up to lightweight where he instantly won the IBO belt against Daniel Brizuela by UD. He defended the title against Sipho Taliwe where some critics thought he lost as he scraped through to get a SD win. During 2014 to 2017 he went on to win his next 5 fights at lightweight beating questionably lower level opponents which resulted in him rising through the WBO lightweight rankings and accumulating the WBO Asia-Pacific and Africa Lightweight Title, WBO Africa Lightweight Title and the WBA International Lightweight Title after defeating Cristian Rafael Coria. Yordan then beat previously unbeaten Pavel Malikov on 22 April 2018 by a KO which was caused by an impressive combination that targeted Malikov's body. This won him the WBO Inter-Continental Lightweight Title and cemented his name in future title eliminators and title fights.

Yordan called out former WBC, WBA and The Ring lightweight champion Jorge Linares on Instagram in August 2018 and a future fight between them is lingering as Linares continues to rebuild his career after being stopped by Vasyl Lomachenko. Yordan fought Anthony Crolla on 10 November 2018 in the Manchester Arena and lost by a UD.
