A week on Saturday at The Copperbox, Chisora aims for his 5th successive victory as he gears up for a World Title Eliminator vs Tyson Fury.

Johnson has never been dropped and never been stopped.

He also KOd Alex Lepai last year, Wladimir Klitschko's next opponent.

I think this is a more dangerous fight that people are imagining for Del Boy. Johnson - when he wants to - can bang, and Chisora loves to come forwards.

That said it would be a real statement if Chisora could do what a prime Vitali and Tyson Fury could not do and stop or at least drop Kingpin.

How do you see this?

Chisora pretty comfortably over 12. Johnson has got the workrate of a slug and pretty much goes to sleep in fights.

not a really bad line-up
chiz v johnson is ok

fury v basilisk is dire but will be exciting car crash stuff

and hughie v greer is interesting. tubbing brawler Greer is always dangerous for the first two rounds. survive that and he collpases like a wet souffle

I honestly think this could be a good fight IF Johnson comes to fight and has a go.

I'm probably hoping against hope. As others have pointed out, he is in the "opponent" phase of his career. Maybe the opening up of the heavyweight title picture will spur him onto a decent effort. A win over Chisora will establish him as a top ten contender again.

But, probably what will happen is he'll box a safety first fight, and Derek's aggression will sweep him to a points win.

Prob a landslide points win for Del Boy. However, if kingpin lands a counter on chisora when he is ploughing forward you never know - he has looked a wee but more vulnerable lately when a punch lands on him.

Then again Johnson isn't the most ambitious at the best of times!

Johnson's a posterboy for lazy fat bastard US heavyweights.

As ever, he has the tools to win this. The drive/desire/what-the-hell-else? No chance.

Chisora to chug through some awkward moments in a horrible styles match-up & win on points.

Good name for such short notice, though.

On an IFL Tv interview Chisora wasn't best pleased about this fight. He just felt Johnson wouldn't come to give it a go and could stink the place out.

If there was even the remotest doubt that Johnson would win, Warren wouldn't have made the fight.

How does he think the fans feel?

Chisora's promoter wants to put his charge in with Fury in the summer. Unless he's been offered pennies and has the hump as a result, I don't think Johnson will be trying to win.

Chisora ko simply because all the soft stoppages he's had lately otherwise id go chisora points.

Very boring wide points win for Chisora.

I think Chisora's workrate means Johnson is going to bee a lot more active than he was against Fury.

I think Chisora will stop him late on in the fight, in about round 10.

I can see this one being horrendously boring to watch.

I would imagine that I'll start to look at porn on the internet by about round 4 and miss Chisora win an extremely dull UD.

Round 4?!?! You've got impressive stamina.

12/1 for a Johnson stoppage win looks like good odds.

I see no point in this fight.

Chisora's looked a bit shaky in the chin department lately and Johnson has decent power.

I think Johnson's getting underrated a bit here.

I just voted Chisora on points.

Johnson is incredibly frustrating to watch as he is too laid back and will look just to survive against Chisora and big up his fee.
