Career
He competed for Guyana at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul under the name Adrian Carew before representing Great Britain at the 1992 Summer Olympics. Dodson"s first Olympic appearance came as a 17-year-old competing in the light welterweight division. Having moved to England and taken his mother"s last name Dodson made his second Olympic appearance competing for Great Britain at the 1992 Games in Barcelona.
Due to the prescense of Robin Reid in the team Dodson was forced to drop from his favoured light middleweight to the welterweight division in order to compete.
In 1999 he was fined £1,000 and banned for 18 months after being found guilty of biting Alain Bonnamie in the last round of their fight for the Commonwealth title. Dodson retired from boxing in 2003 with a record of 25 wins and 6 defeats.
In 2011 Dodson was scheduled to make a comeback in the super-middleweight division as part of the Prizefighter series, where he could have faced fellow 1992 Olympian Robin Reid. Dodson pulled out before the series as he felt he was not in physical condition to compete and was replaced by Joe Ainscough.
