Australian heavyweight prospect Tai Tuivasa will face Blagoy Ivanov at UFC 238 this summer, the UFC confirmed to ESPN on Friday.
The heavyweight bout is officially booked to UFC 238 on June 8 in Chicago.
Tuivasa (8-1) is looking to rebound from the first loss of his career. He suffered a second-round knockout loss to Junior dos Santos in December, at a UFC Fight Night event in his native Australia.
The 26-year-old is 3-1 overall in the UFC, with two knockouts.
Ivanov (17-2) is a former WSOF champion with a 1-1 record in the Octagon. His UFC win came in his last bout, in a somewhat controversial unanimous decision over Ben Rothwell.
The UFC has not yet announced a main event for UFC 238.
