Bernard Hopkins will put his World Boxing Council light-heavyweight title on the line less than five months after earning it.

Hopkins (52-5-2, 32 knockouts) will face Chad Dawson (30-1, 17 knockouts) on Oct. 15 in a title fight at the Staples Center.

A news conference early next week will officially announce the pairing, a Golden Boy Promotions spokeswoman said.
