Comments Thread For: Dereck Chisora Now Faces Kevin Johnson On 2/15 Copper Box Bill

Chisora says he doesn't want to fight Johnson, he's worried Johnson is going to stink the place out.

He's spot on. This will be ugly.

I got the impression watching the press conference footage that Delboy was massively annoyed at the late change of opponent to King Pin. He said he'd just "found out twenty minutes ago" or something. Also, I wonder whether the fight is fully signed and sealed as it sounds late in the day.

If it happens, I like Chisora v Kingpin. Shame there's not a few more weeks to let it build up as the press conferences could have been decent.

Say what you will, but the fact is if Chisora wins, Johnson would be arguably the biggest name credited to Chisora as a win (the only other possibility being Danny Williams). He deserved the win against Helenius but it went into the books as a L. Also, Johnson's loss to Hammer wasn't "one sided", many people think he was robbed a victory, where did the writer get that from.

Not only that, it was only 3 rounds. Hamer outworked him. 3 rounds is a lot different to 12!
