Two-Time World Champion “Bad” Chad TWO-TIME WORLD CHAMPION “BAD” CHAD DAWSON RETURNS TO CONNECTICUT New York, NY (9/22/14) – On Saturday, October 4th, DiBella Entertainment and Warriors Boxing will stage a thrilling SHOWTIME Boxing Special Edition with reigning undefeated IBF champion Rances “Kid Blast” Barthelemy (20-0-0-1NC, 12KO’s) defending his super featherweight title against former world title challenger and IBF #3-rated Fernando Saucedo (52-5-3, 8KO’s) in the main event. Also appearing on the telecast will be two-time light heavyweight champion “Bad” Chad Dawson (32-3, 18 KO’s) making his long-awaited return to his home state for the first time in five years. The event will air live on SHOWTIME beginning at 9 pm ET/PT from the Fox Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino, in Mashantucket, Conn. “It means a lot to me to be back fighting in front of my hometown fans, to be back on the East coast and not in enemy territory,” said Dawson. “I’m looking forward to putting on a great performance in front of my fans, friends and family in attendance.” He’ll be facing the always-game former world title challenger Tommy Karpency (23-4-1, 14 KO’s), from Adah, PA, in a 10-round light heavyweight contest. Since losing to Nathan Cleverly for the WBO title and Andrzej Fonfara for the IBO belt, both in 2012, Karpency has won two straight. In January of this year, Karpency avenged a previous defeat by unanimously outpointing Rayco Saunders, and then picked up the NABA light heavyweight strap with a victory over Dhafir Smith in July. “I’ve watched my opponent, Tommy Karpency, and I know he’s a hungry guy,” assessed Dawson. “He won’t be in there just for a paycheck, but I am prepared for whatever he brings.” In search of his third world title, Dawson, of New Haven, will step foot inside a Connecticut ring for the first time since 2009. Upon turning pro in 2001, eight of Dawson’s first 15 fights were staged at Foxwoods, a venue in which he is undefeated, making him a local fan favorite. “I started my career at Foxwoods, my old stomping grounds,” reminisced Dawson. “It’s hard to believe that it’s almost been a decade since I last fought at that venue. I’m excited to be fighting there again and I’m sure it will bring back a lot of memories.” After handing Tomasz Adamek his first loss in 2007 to pick up the WBC light heavyweight title, the southpaw Dawson swiftly cleaned out the division, twice defeating both former champions Glen Johnson and Antonio Tarver. Following a loss to Jean Pascal in Canada, Dawson regrouped to secure the biggest victory of his career, regaining the WBC belt with a 12-round decision over future Hall-of-Famer Bernard Hopkins in April 2012. Suffering subsequent back-to-back losses in 2012 and 2013, Dawson is once again on the comeback trail. On June 21, 2014, Dawson annihilated the formidable George Blades inside one round. A straight left to the body dropped Blades and a follow-up barrage put him down again for good. “I’ve been training in Louisiana for this fight. Against Blades, I came in a bit heavy, but I’ve been working with my strength and conditioning coach and I will make 175 pounds without a problem. I’m strong and I’ve got that hunger back.” Now rated #11 by the WBO and #14 by the WBC, Dawson is determined to secure an impressive victory on October 4th in front of his hometown fans, as he climbs back toward another championship opportunity. “I’m now making my comeback. After this fight, should everything work out as planned, I will be putting myself into position to fight for a world title by next year. I want to end my career on a strong note.” Additional undercard bouts will be announced shortly. Tickets, priced at $150, $90 and $45, are currently on sale and may be purchased online at Foxwoods.com, by calling the Foxwoods’ box office at 800-200-2882, or in person at the Foxwoods’ box office. Tickets may also be purchased through any Ticketmaster outlet or online at Ticketmaster.com. Doors open at 6:00pm, with the first bout scheduled for 6:30pm..

  • Rethinking the Use of Antitrust Law in Combat Sports
    Journal of Legal Aspects of Sport, 2018, 28, 63-96 https://doi.org/10.18060/22331 Rethinking the Use of Antitrust Law in Combat Sports Jason J. Cruz* Introduction This article will examine the application of antitrust laws in combat sports. Specifically, it will look at three recent cases involving lawsuits brought under the Sherman Act Section 1 and 2.1 First, this article will examine the January 2017 dismissal by a Los Angeles federal court of a lawsuit filed by Golden Boy Promotions (“Golden Boy”) against Al Haymon and his business entities, which started Premier Boxing Champions (“PBC”).2 It will also examine Top Rank Boxing’s (“Top Rank”) similar lawsuit against Haymon, which was settled the previous fall. Finally, it will evaluate the ongoing lawsuit between several former fighters and the Ultimate Fighting Championships (“UFC”). While each lawsuit has its own set of facts, the conditions and marketplace for combat sports is unique and the application of antitrust law has been used sparingly by boxers and promoters. These three cases filed in the last three years reflect the changing market for boxing and MMA. The paper will look at the results of the Top Rank and Golden Boy lawsuits and determine whether those cases shed any light on the outcome of the UFC case. It will also explore whether there are alternatives to regulating combat sports outside of the use of the antitrust laws. One legal commentator has opined that a federal commission would aid the monopolistic structure of a sports league. But, does that apply to individual sports like MMA or boxing? This paper will explore this issue as well as determine whether organizing fighters would address the issues complained of in the lawsuits.

They have seen it over 50 times before in the last 20 plus years. I will say that I am really happy that this is on HBO so that all of my fans from across the country can see me continue this unprecedented path.

  • Dawson Confident the Best Is Yet to Come
    Dawson confident the best is yet to come PROVIDENCE, R.I. (June 17th, 2019) — There are many reasons why some professional fighters hang on longer than most people think they should. Some need the money. Others miss the limelight. Chad Dawson is simply motivated by the thrill of victory and an opportunity to reclaim his throne atop the light heavyweight division. “If I didn’t think I had anything left, I wouldn’t be doing it right now,” said the former two-time world champion, who returns to the ring Saturday, June 29th, 2019 at Foxwoods Resort Casino after two and a half years away from the sport. “I want to get back in the spotlight, back into contention and back into the ring with the guys who are at the top now.” Dawson (34-5, 19 KOs), who turns 37 in July, faces North Carolina vet Quinton Rankin (15-5-2, 12 KOs) in the eight- round main event of CES Boxing’s pro-am spectacular at the historic Fox Theater. The event streams live on Facebook via FIGHTNIGHT LIVE and also includes a 10-round featherweight co- feature bout between fellow New Haven boxer Tramaine Williams(17-0, 6 KOs) and Filipino Neil John Tabanao (17-5, 11 KOs). Limited tickets are available at $47, $77 and $157 (VIP) and can be purchased online at www.cesboxing.com or www.foxwoods.com, by phone at 401-724-2253 or 800-200-2882 or at the Fox Theater Box Office. All fights and fighters subject to change. Dawson is not the first — and he certainly won’t be the last — fighter to return to the sport following a long layoff or retirement.

  • International Boxing Research Organization, Had Perhaps Its Stron- Gest Showing Ever at Canastota
    boxing by don cogswell This year’s trip to Canas- tota, my third, for the Hall of Fame inductions weekend, continued to add texture and depth in experiencing one of boxing’s principal convergences. The dazzle of being immersed in so many of boxing’s notables does fade but the rewards of repeated visits with friends and associates deepen to center stage. Doing a little business also helps. The Random House Dictionary, unabridged, second edition, defines appetizer as “any small portion that stimulates a desire for more or that indicates more is to follow.” An opportunity to meet fifties contender Rocky Jones, courtesy of former Chester heavyweight Jack Mer- cadante and Philly historian Chuck Hasson, was up to scratch in meeting that definition. (I had flown into Philadelphia from the West Coast, planning on driving north with these two notables, to Canastota.) Rocky lives in a primarily African American neighborhood that was once predominately Italian American. The house Jack Mercadante grew up in is a stone’s throw from Rocky’s. Throughout our hour visit on his stoop, passerby’s continuously asked Rocky if everything was all right. I felt privileged with his repeated mantra that everything was just fine. (Jones lives a short drive from Leiperville, where we passed, in homage, the site of Baron Dougherty’s Colonial Hotel.) Among the many comments of Rock’s experiences, both in the ring and the gyms, the two bouts with Roland LaStarza loomed large. Rocky, essentially a lightheavy, fought heavyweights throughout his career. LaStarza was in line for a title shot, and a big favorite when he fought Jones, but was upset over 10.
