As a young boxer you want to achieve something and you want to measure yourself against the best. Erik will be motivated to prove he belongs on the world stage, but I\u2019ll be even more motivated to show the world that I\u2019m still able to get the job done. I still have a lot more to offer.\u201d<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Johnson, a former IBF World Light Heavyweight Champion, has shared the ring with many of the biggest names in modern boxing including Bernard Hopkins, Carl Froch and Roy Jones Jr. At 45 years old, the \u2018Road Warrior\u2019 is not yet ready to give up on his dream of reclaiming a world title. \u201cI take care of myself.
