Lewis tips Chisora to stun Klitschko

by Setanta Staff , 08 February 2012

Dereck Chisora has been tipped by Lennox Lewis to surprise Vitali Klitschko in their WBC heavyweight title on February 18.


Former WBC and IBO world heavyweight champion, Lewis, is looking forward to seeing the unfancied 28-year-old fellow Londoner, Chisora, go up against 40-year-old Ukrainian champion, Klitschko, in Munich on Saturday week.

And, 46-year-old Lewis, who was the last man to defeat Klitschoko in Los Angeles nine years ago, is in no doubt that Chisora has the punching ability to knock down his opponent, despite going into the bout on the back of successive defeats against Tyson Fury and Robert Helenius.

"Vitali is very good but Chisora has a chance. All it takes is one punch on the chin to win," said Lewis.

"I always say if you walk into the ring, you have to get wet. If he [Klitschko] is in the fight, in the ring, and he gets punched, there is a chance that he might get hurt or knocked out.

"It will be an interesting fight."
