The heavyweight has suffered an injury and been forced to withdraw from his bout against Marcin Tybura at UFC 260 on March 27. The news was confirmed on social media by both Ivanov and Tybura following a report from 24Chasa.
Details on Ivanov's injury are unknown. It's also uncertain if the UFC intends to reschedule the matchup or find a new opponent for Tybura.
Ivanov (18-4 MMA, 2-3 UFC) was looking to snap a two-fight losing skid that's kept him winless since June 2019. Both defeats were split decision losses to ranked opposition in Derrick Lewis and Augusto Sakai.
