No mercy,\u201d said Joshua. \u201cI took some time out and I\u2019m coming back with a mega show. It\u2019s a big opportunity for me. Whether you like it or not, I\u2019m here to do massive numbers, have big fights and break every record whilst keeping cool, calm and collected. Mark my words, you\u2019ll see a lot more fighters take these opportunities in the future. I\u2019m about to break the internet over Jake Paul\u2019s face.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cThis isn\u2019t an AI simulation. This is Judgment Day,\u201d said Paul. \u201cA professional heavyweight fight against an elite world champion in his prime. When I beat Anthony Joshua, every doubt disappears, and no one can deny me the opportunity to fight for a world title. To all my haters, this is what you wanted. To the people of the United Kingdom, I am sorry. On Friday, December 19, under the lights in Miami, live globally only on Netflix, the torch gets passed and Britain\u2019s Goliath gets put to sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">I don\u2019t think I need to elaborate on how farcical the fight is. For all his recent struggles, Joshua (28-4, 25 KO) is a genuinely good boxer with stout fundamentals and a nasty punch. The last time he found himself in similar circumstances, taking on former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, he smoked \u201cThe Predator\u201d in under six minutes. Assuming he doesn\u2019t carry Paul (12-1, 7 KO) as a sort of \u201cpay it forward\u201d gift for Paul\u2019s careful handling of Mike Tyson, it\u2019s hard to envision anything other than an absolute massacre at \u201cAJ\u2019s\u201d hands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Having scuttled a planned November bout with Gervonta Davis after \u201cTank\u2019s\u201d latest allegation of domestic violence, Jake Paul&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":50860,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[28097,123,125,124],"class_list":["post-50859","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-boxing-news","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50859","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50859"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50859\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50860"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50859"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50859"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50859"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
