NOTABLE DATES

SOUTHPAW Adrian Dodson (Carew) became the World Boxing Organisation (WBO) Inter-Continental junior middleweight champion on October 7, 1995. Dodson stopped Canadian Hughes Daigneault in the fourth round of a scheduled 12-rounder. 

The fight was held at the Ulster Hall in Belfast, Northern Ireland and provided the Guyanese with his 13th victory in as many bouts. The win came eight months after Dodson flattened former world champion Lloyd Honeyghan.
Their 10-round encounter was shortened to three after Dodson TKOed the former undisputed world welterweight champion in the third stanza. Honeyghan was declared the International Boxing Federation (IBF), World Boxing Association (WBA) and World Boxing Council (WBC) welterweight champion after surprisingly defeating Donald `The Cobra’ Curry in September 1986.
Dodson also put his hand on a world title, having won the International Boxing Organisation (IBO) junior middleweight title in March 2001, one month after Andrew `Six Head’ Lewis became the first Guyanese to lift a world crown.
