Promoted by AT Entertainment and Gary Shaw Productions, the Tarver-Dawson world light heavyweight championship fight takes place Tonight! Saturday, October 11, in the Pearl Theater at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas Nev.
The fight will be televised live on SHOWTIME Championship Boxing, beginning at 9 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the west coast) along with the same-day delay of the Samuel Peter-Vitali Klitschko WBC heavyweight
title battle in Berlin, Germany.
Chad Dawson (26-0, 17 KOs), from New Haven, Conn., captured the WBC title, February 3, 2007, winning a unanimous decision over undefeated defending champion Tomasz Adamek.
After three successful title defenses, Dawson vacated the title earlier this summer so that he could challenge Tarver in his next fight. Antonio Tarver (27-4, 19 KOs), from Tampa, is in his third reign as world champion.
Boasting world title victories over Roy Jones, Jr. and Glen Johnson, Tarver returns to the ring after handily defeating defending IBF champion Clinton Woods via a 12-round unanimous decision in Tampa last April.
