BoxingScene.com has confirmed that former WBC light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson (31-3, 17KOs) is the latest fighter to sign an agreement with powerful adviser Al Haymon.

Sam Watson, who works closely with Haymon, confirmed the signing to BoxingScene.

Dawson, a promotional free agent, is looking to regroup after losing back to back fights, by knockout, to Andre Ward and Adonis Stevenson. Dawson has been out of the ring since last June's loss to Stevenson.

At 31-years-old, Dawson believes he is young enough and has plenty of time to get his career back to the top.

In the last few weeks, Haymon also added Stevenson and top welterweight contender Luis Collazo to his stable.
