Anthony Joshua\u2019s warning that he was ready to \u201ckill\u201d Jake Paul raised some eyebrows in Miami \u2014 especially as the buildup to today\u2019s fight has been relatively good-natured \u2014 and they also met with a mixed response further afield.<\/p>\n
Joshua\u2019s long-term rival Tyson Fury called him a \u201cclassless loser\u201d and a \u201cbig bum\u201d for using such strong language, before threatening to \u201cknock you spark out\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think, you know what, he\u2019s a little bit long in the tooth to be talking shit like that,\u201d Fury said on his Instagram Stories. \u201cHe’s 37 years old at the end of his career, fighting a YouTuber, a Disney Channel guy, who Tommy (Fury) beat, and now he\u2019s talking about killing him and all that to try and sell. Please. Barking up the wrong tree, idiot.<\/p>\n
\u201cHere’s a fun fact: If I ever come across you, bum, I’m knocking you dead spark out. I ain\u2019t a YouTuber or a man half your size. I am him, the man. You\u2019re a classless loser coming off a 15-month knockout defeat to a local lad. Imagine if someone from Morecambe knocked me out, you big bum useless dosser. <\/p>\n
\u201cGet up, and I can\u2019t wait if Jake Paul knocks you spark out, you big bum.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anthony Joshua\u2019s warning that he was ready to \u201ckill\u201d Jake Paul raised some eyebrows in Miami \u2014 especially…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":355954,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-355953","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355953","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=355953"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355953\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/355954"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=355953"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=355953"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=355953"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
