BoxingScene.com has received word that the WBC has ordered the mandatory meeting between interim-champion Chad Dawson and full champion Jean Pascal. Dawson has a tentative return set for June 19 on HBO. The two sides have a little bit more than a month to reach a deal. The WBC scheduled a purse bid for February 26 at their offices in Mexico City. I've heard Pascal advised the sanctioning body that he is ready to defend in the month of June.
