Manuwa impressed at UFC 204 in Manchester on the undercard of Michael Bisping v Dan Henderson, knocking out favourite Ovince Saint Preux and earning the 'Performance of the Night' award.
And now the No 5 light-heavyweight contender, who has won 16 of his 18 fights, will fight in his hometown against Illinois-based Anderson.

Joe Duffy has also been confirmed for the British event. The Irish fighter has only twice won in longer than a round and Sweden's Reza Madadi will be the man charged with stopping him in this occasion.
And two men with heavyweight title intentions will also fight in London when Daniel Omielanczuk and Timothy Johnson get in the octagon. A win for either fighter would seem them jump into the top 10.
