Bobby Lashley isn’t going to get his rematch with James Thompson just yet.

An injured has forced the British heavyweight out of his proposed bout against Lashley at Bellator 138 on June 19. Bellator officials announced on Wednesday that Lashley will instead face Dan Charles in a featured bout on the Spike TV-televised portion of the card.

Bellator 138 takes place at Scottrade Center in St. Louis and is headlined by a heavyweight tilt between Kimbo Slice and Ken Shamrock.
