"Drill Baby, Drill"
Dawson Vows To Shut Tarver Up In Saturday's World Title Fight
Undefeated former World Boxing Council (WBC) light
heavyweight champion "BAD" CHAD DAWSON is
ready to dig for gold when he challenges International
Boxing Federation (IBF) / International Boxing Organization
(IBO) light heavyweight champion Antonio Tarver
next Saturday in Las Vegas.
"Drill baby, drill! That's what I'm going to do to Anphonyo Tarver when I finally get that 14-carat chump into the ring," said Dawson from his Las Vegas-based training camp. "At least I won't have to go offshore to get my hands on him. Tarver's going to need a financial bailout to pay for a new set of teeth. I just hope his dentist gets the cash up front because 'Old Chapter 7' isn't the most reliable when it comes to paying off his debts. Getting rid of Tarver is not just my mission, it's a public service!"
Promoted by AT Entertainment and Gary Shaw Productions, the
Tarver-Dawson world light heavyweight championship fight
takes place Next
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.
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. 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.
