Chad Dawson vs. Adonis Stevenson June 8th on HBO

Light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson, returning to the 175-pound division, will defend his title against knockout artist Adonis "Superman" Stevenson on June 8 at the Bell Centre in Montreal, promoter Yvon Michel announced at a news conference on Wednesday.

The fight will be Dawson's first since Sept. 8, when he dropped down to the 168-pound super middleweight division and was demolished by champion Andre Ward, who scored three knockdowns en route to a lopsided 10th-round knockout.

Dawson's light-heavyweight championship was not on the line against Ward and now he is back in his natural division to defend against Quebec's Stevenson, who gave up a shot at a super middleweight world title to move up one weight class and challenge Dawson.

"Adonis Stevenson's goal isn't to only become world champion," Michel said. "Adonis has everything needed to become a major international attraction in professional boxing, but to get there he needed the platform offered to him on June 8, fighting a crafty, dangerous opponent on a prestigious television network (HBO) for world title. The table is set for Adonis; his future is now in his fists of steel!"
