Dereck Chisora has warned David Haye that there will be no let up from his incessant pressure when they lock horns at Upton Park on July 14.

Some pundits feel that Chisora's aggressive, come-forward style of boxing could disrupt Haye's rhythm and test the durability of his chin, which has been seen as a weakness in the past.

In some of his recent outings, Haye has been reluctant to engage with opponents, preferring to keep himself at a safe distance - although the likes of Nikolai Valuev and Wladimir Klitschko were significantly taller than Haye, and against John Ruiz, who has a similar style and stature to Chisora, he recorded a stoppage triumph.

But Chisora feels his status as a natural heavyweight - and a less-refined pugilist - will work in his favour next month.

"I love fighting," Chisora told BoxNation. "This sucker don't like to fight, he's a runner. I'm going to hunt this guy. Hunt him, then whoop his backside. One of the key factors is that I'm going to be in his face all the time. He's not going to know what hit him.

"My workrate will surprise him. He's going to have a big surprise anyway, so it'll be amazing.
