Chad Dawson speaks of being focused for the fight against Ward – Boxing News
Chad ‘Bad’ Dawson is one of the very few fighters who do not trash-talk. Instead, he chooses to respect his opponents, stay focused on the fight and prepare as hard as he can.
The current WBC and Ring Magazine light heavyweight titlist spoke to FightNews regarding his training and his fight with Andre Ward this Sunday. According to the American fighter, he is focused for the fight and he is not currently not looking forward to
anything else.
When asked about his trainer being voted for ‘Trainer of the Year’, the WBC light heavyweight champion revealed, “We’re not really looking at that. We’re not looking at him becoming the “Trainer of the Year” or me becoming the “Fighter of the Year.” We’re
concerned first and foremost about going out there and winning this fight. If it happens, that’s a plus but we’re not concerned about it.”
Dawson sounded confident when he said he is one of the very few fighters who know how to deal with their opponents in the ring. When asked as to how he thinks he differs from others, he said, “Physically, it’s got to be my athleticism. I’m an all-around
athlete who can play other sports too. Boxing is what I do and it is the first thing on my mind, so I take it very seriously and I am always prepared. You know, basically, I just try to be myself. I’m also a very tall fighter, so I use my height.”
Dawson is training hard with his trainer Scully to ensure a victory against Andre Ward. Even though both fighters are not as popular as some of the top names in the list, such as Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather, the fight still is among the most enthralling
ones of this year. It is a super-bout between a legend and a promising fighter.
Dawson has spent years in the industry to cement his legacy while Ward is on his way to create his name. It is a super-fight that would have everything any boxing fan would wish to see in a fight of such legends.
