Details… Both boxers meet in the centre of the ring, Chisora looking to get inside, he’s looking to rough Johnson up but the American is cute in his work, with his left held low Johnson is rolling with Chisora’s shots and there isn’t a lot in it but Johnson looking comfortable while Chisora is forcing it.

Round 2, Chisora bobbing and weaving he lets the right hand go and lands, Johnson flicking his jab in Chisora’s face, Chisora try’s to get inside it, big right again lands from Chisora, best punch of the fight, Chisora pressing the pace, better round for Chisora who is now half a yard more in range and ruffles his opponent, good round for the Londoner.

Another close round unfolds in the 3rd, Chisora steaming forward, Johnson, slipping the shots as he tries to make Chisora miss and then counter. Chisora in his face and following the America it’s getting tough for both who acknowledge each other at the end of a Chisora round.

Johnson starts the 4th behind a quick stiff jab, pop pop pop right down the pipe, Chisora eats it and keeps coming. Chisora takes a few and comes back strong, he’s unleashing the right hands and pushes Johnson back to the ropes, Chisora lands some hard cuffing hooks around Johnson’s head, it’s hotting up but it looks a hard slog for both.

The fifth round and Chisora is opening up, the round progresses with both having limited success before Chisora unleashes a big over hand right that DROPS Johnson on the seat of his pants heavy! Johnson up the fight continues and Chisora goes in looking for the finish, theres the bell, Johnson survives…

Round 6, Chisora continues to pressure, Johnson has recovered from the knock down and has his work cut out holding Del Boy off. Chisora unleashes when he has bobbed his way in and his shots are spraying the sweat off Johnson’s head has they thud against it. Good uppercut inside from the cagey Johnson but that was his best punch of the round and it’s all Chisora.

Chisora doesn’t mind taking the odd punch to get his own off, Johnson still looks in survival mode on the back foot now, he is still dangerous with the counters, Kingpin is a wily old pro but Chisora is outworking him and Johnson isn’t throwing enough shots, Chisora building up an healthy lead now, as the bell goes to end the 7th.

Round 8, Chisora head down, hands up wades in range again and hooks away at Johnson. Chisora continues to press but Johnson has his own success near the end of a competitive round.

Chisora gets caught by a left to the body in the 9th and it hurts him, although the ref said it was low? Johnson hands up high, catches Chisora’s wild punches on the arms, but the follow ups get through. Johnson counters and looks to be getting a second wind and his timing on the counter is better, Chisora cant get careless and he is forcing his work a little here and Johnson is finding a rhythm as he takes the round.

Another close round is the 10th Johnson starts well, his combinations are bouncing off Del who bobs and weaves and comes back to take the second half of the session. Johnson has come here to get this win and upset the home fighter but Chisora is fighting with a dogged determination and it is hard for Johnson to contain the sheer force of the Brit.

Chisora cruising now, Johnson looks happy to finish the fight and get home by the looks of it. All Chisora now and Johnson can only muster the odd telling shot. The 11th plays out. Johnson to his credit comes out with his guns blazing in the 12th and lets the leather fly. Dereck goes back into Dereck mode and after a hard fight, Chisora has got the win, by out-working Johnson, the knockdown put the icing on the cake. We await the official score and result…..
