EVENT: Believe It Or Not: Hopkins vs Dawson
DATE: October 15, 2011
LOCATION: Staples Center, Los Angeles, California, United States
MAIN EVENT: Bernard Hopkins vs Chad Dawson
DETAILS: This is a Light Heavyweight fight for both the WBC and The Ring titles.
Hopkins has made history before at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and now he is going back to try to make some more in the first defense of his second 175-pound title reign.
He became the oldest world champion in boxing history, at the age of 46 in May 2011 when he defeated Jean Pascal.
On that same card on May 21, Chad Dawson bounced back from a loss to the same Jean Pascal, 9 months prior defeating Adrian Diaconu. He was given a contractual assurance that if he beats Diaconu, he will get a mandatory shot at the main event winner in his next fight – which happened to be Hopkins.
