One of the biggest fights at the light heavyweight level, Chad Dawson vs. Jean Pascal, may happen in June in Canada. Dawson, the IBO/WBC-interim champion would travel to Pascal's backyard to challenge the Canadian star for his full WBC title. Pascal is recovering from shoulder surgery. He suffered the injury during his recent points win over Adrian Diaconu.
"[Dawson-Pascal will happen] probably in June, and most likely, in Canada," said Dawson's promoter Gary Shaw to AOL's FanHouse. "[Pascal] should be ready to go in June."
Pascal has been hunting for this fight since moving up to 175-pounds. Since losing a war of a fight to Carl Froch in December 2008, Pascal regrouped and fought four times in 2009. He went 4-0, with 2 by knockout. Dawson has been fighting either Glen Johnson or Antonio Tarver for the last two years. Finally boxing fans will watch him in the ring against one the top dogs at the weight. Pascal is a young top dog at age 27.
