Chisora: I'll KO Klitschko
British fighter confident he will be crowned new heavyweight king
Dereck Chisora has predicted that he will knock out Vitali Klitschko in the eighth round of their WBC heavyweight title clash in Munich on February 18.
The 28-year-old Brit has twice been scheduled to fight Vitali's brother Wladimir but each time had his chance to challenge for a world title taken away when the Ukrainian pulled out.
Chisora has lost two of his last three fights, including a controversial split decision defeat to Robert Helenius in Finland most recently, but is still confident of victory against the heavily favoured Klitschko.
And the Londoner, who also lost to Tyson Fury in a domestic showdown last year, thinks he can become the first person to legitimately knock the 40-year-old out.
"Number eight is my lucky number and Vitali is going down in the eighth round," Chisora said when the pair came head-to-head at a press conference in London.
"He just does not know what is coming - I am physically and mentally coming to take what is his and make it mine. I hope you are prepared for that.
"I have already said to Vitali, 'I hope you don't chicken out like your little brother, just make sure you are there'.
"I just hope you do not come up with excuses, say, 'there is a problem with this or that'. I just want to fight." - www1.skysports.com
