David Price to face Yaroslav Zavorotnyi in June

British heavyweight David Price will return to the ring on June 7 to face Yaroslav Zavorotnyi.

Price will be looking for his third win of the year as he looks to rebuild his career after back-to-back defeats to American Tony Thompson.

The Liverpudlian recently got off the canvas to stop Ondrej Pala inside three rounds, and the 30-year-old will face a similar level of opponent when he goes against the Ukrainian.

Zavorotnyi has won 16 times in 22 matches, with 14 coming by way of knockout, and the 39-year-old's last two defeats have only come when paired with tough opposition.

The Kharkov-based boxer has fought only once since 2011, with his last setback coming against Kubrat Pulev in the Bulgarian's 11th professional bout.
