Dawson attended James Hillhouse High School and graduated in 2000. He began as an amateur boxer, amassing a record of 67-13. He secured an under-19 national championship and won a silver medal in the world championships in 2001. He made his professional debut as a middleweight, eventually transitioning to super middleweight, achieving victories over Carl Daniels and Ian Gardner. In 2004, he faced a six-month suspension from fighting after failing a post-drug test for marijuana. He then shifted to the light-heavyweight division, enjoying a 14 consecutive win streak before suffering a loss to Aundalen Sloan.

In 2006, Dawson claimed a unanimous decision victory over Eric Harding, leading to his NABF Light-Heavyweight Champion title. The following year, he secured the WBC Light Heavyweight championship against Tomasz Adamek, also through a unanimous decision. In subsequent years, he defended his WBC belt against Jesus Ruiz, triumphing via TKO in the sixth round. He further defeated Epifanio Mendoza and controversially won a unanimous decision victory against Glen Johnson in 2008. Mid-year, he relinquished his title and competed against Antonio Tarver for the IBF Light-Heavyweight Championship, winning through a unanimous decision, significantly boosting his net worth with earnings of $800,000. He emerged victorious in a rematch with Tarver seven months later. In 2009, he vacated the title for a rematch against Glen Johnson, securing a more convincing victory.

In 2010, Dawson confronted Jean Pascal for the Light-Heavyweight title, yet the referee awarded Pascal the win after an accidental head-butt. He returned to the ring in 2011, defeating Adrian Diaconu before facing Bernard Hopkins for the lineal light-heavyweight championship, resulting in a Technical Draw, leading to a No Contest (NC) and a rematch in 2012. Dawson won the rematch by majority decision and then stepped down a division to challenge lineal super-middleweight champion Andre Ward, resulting in Dawson’s loss. Subsequently, he returned to the light-heavyweight division to battle Adonis Stevenson but was knocked out during the first round.

He took a hiatus from the sport and made a comeback in 2014, competing against George Blades in the cruiserweight division, where he knocked out Blades before announcing his return to the light heavyweight division. However, he suffered a defeat against Tommy Karpency later in the year.

On the personal front, Chad Dawson has been married to Crystal since 2007, and they are parents to three sons. The family resides in New Haven, Connecticut.
