Gary Buckland will face Sean Dodd on Saturday night after British lightweight champion Scott Cardle was forced to withdraw through injury.
Cardle sustained a tear in his quadriceps during his final sparring session before the fight and will now face the winner of Buckland v Dodd on November 7 as part of the Smith v Fielding undercard.
Promoter Eddie Hearn said: "It's poor luck for Scotty who was looking forward to the first defence of his British title but what a golden opportunity for Sean.
I am looking forward to making the winner against Scotty for the British title on our bumper 'Who's Fooling Who?' bill at the Echo Arena in Liverpool on November 7.

Dodd (9-1-KO2) had been due to face Michael Mooney on the night but will now seize his opportunity to try and secure a British title shot. The 31-year-old is sure to enjoy some vociferous support against the Welshman as he's from down the road in Birkenhead.
Saturday's card at the Olympia is headlined by local super-featherweight Stephen Smith, who is hoping to secure a shot at the IBF world title by beating dangerous Italian Devis Boschiero, while Bradley Saunders returns against Renald Garrido.
Also confirmed on the bill is unbeaten British light-heavyweight Hosea Burton, who faces unbeaten Trinidadian Nigel Edwards in a final eliminator for the Commonwealth title.
