Cloutier’s Canada Corner
Dawson Will Be Unable To Fight
Alvarez
By Daniel Cloutier
MONTRÉAL - The promoter of the GYM Group, Yvon Michel,
confirmed that the fight (10 rounds) which was supposed to
oppose the Montrealer Colombian Eleider Alvarez and the
former WBC light heavyweight champion of the world, Chad
Dawson, July 29th at the Videotron Centre in Québec City,
has been cancelled.
Tuesday morning in New Haven, Connecticut, Dawson (34-4-0)
got in injury to the left shoulder in training.
“We are working to find another opponent for Eleider, said
Yvon Michel. The Dawson’s manager phoned me Tuesday morning
to mention that his fighter will be unable to go in Québec
City next week. Dawson injured his left shoulder in a
training session. We hope to be able to confirm a new
opponent for Alvarez in the next hours.”
The fight Alvarez-Dawson was supposed to be presented just
before the WBC light heavyweight championship of the world
opposing the Montrealer Adonis Stevenson (27-1-0) and the
mandatory challenger, Thomas Williams Jr. (20-1-0), from
Fort Washington, Maryland.
Alvarez (19-0-0) is the WBC first contender in the light
heavyweight division.
