Light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson's rematch with Antonio Tarver has been postponed after Dawson injured his hand during training this week.
Dawson (27-0, 17 KOs) was scheduled to fight Tarver (27-5, 19 KOs) on March 14 at the Palms casino in Las Vegas. The fight was a contractually obligated rematch of their bout on Oct. 11, which Dawson won in a one-sided unanimous decision to claim the IBF's 175-pound belt.
Dawson, who apparently was injured during a sparring session, attempted to secure a bout with fellow undefeated champion Joe Calzaghe last year before agreeing to fight Tarver again.
The rematch wasn't immediately rescheduled.
