    If and when former two-time light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson beats World Boxing Council light heavyweight champion Jean Pascal on Saturday night, Dawson will be looking to fight IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute next at a 172 pound catchweight, according to the Canadian Press.

    Bute’s IBF super middleweight title wouldn’t be on the line, so if he gets beaten by Dawson, which is likely, then Bute wouldn’t lose anything than some hurt feelings. The fight would take place in Canada and that would be something for Bute to look forward to. Dawson’s promoter, Gary Shaw, thinks that Dawson can win over the Canadian boxing fans if he can beat both Pascal and Bute and become one of the home town darlings.
