He told the BBC: "I think it's going to be touch and go, but the important thing is to get ready to come out without a deal.
"It all depends on our EU friends and partners, I think in the last few days there has been a dawning realization in Brussels and other European capitals what the shape of the problem is for the UK," he told the BBC.
Johnson said the chances of getting a deal with Brussels are improving, a reference to talks he held ahead of the G7 gathering with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron.
Both agreed they would be prepared to give Johnson a limited time to come forward with new proposals on the Irish backstop, the insurance policy arrangement the EU has demanded to avoid a hard border being established on the island of Ireland.
Johnson said there has to be great deal of realism on part of Brussels that Brexit Withdrawal Agreement is dead.
"The text that (Britain's) parliament rejected three times cannot now be made to go through.
"Fundamentally, the problem with that Withdrawal Agreement is that it would keep us locked in EU's trading ... It would keep us locked in the EU's trading arrangements and in the lunar pull of EU law without being able to have a say. That's why it's totally unacceptable."
Johnson has also started to talk about the money side of Brexit, and the reported 39 billion pounds Britain would have to pay as a so-called divorce settlement when it leaves the bloc.
