American heavyweight boxer Kevin Johnson believes that it will be the 'college professor versus the student' when he faces Tyson Fury in Belfast on Saturday night.

The 33-year-old, who has won 28 of his 31 professional fights, takes on Fury in front of his home crowd at the Odyssey Arena. The former world title challenger believes he will inflict the first loss on his 24-year-old opponent's record.

Johnson said: "I'm one of America's greatest fighters who is coming to annihilate Tyson Fury.

"I'm destined to be the next heavyweight champion of the world. It's going be like a college professor versus a student on Saturday night."

Johnson lost by unanimous decision to Vitali Klitschko in 2009.
