Promoter Gary Shaw has informed BoxingScene.com that WBC light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson (28-0, 17KOs) will have the home field advantage when he faces Glen Johnson (49-12-2, 33KOs) in their anticipated rematch on November 7. The fight will happen at the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut and HBO will televise the fight. Last April, Dawson fought Johnson on his home turf at the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa, Florida. Dawson won a controversial twelve round decision. Both fighters want to set the record straight.
