He’s really leaning into the drama with this fight, calling it ‘Judgment Day.’ He’s made it clear – a win over Joshua isn’t just another victory for him, it’s about silencing all the critics and definitively proving he belongs at the very top of the boxing world. It’s all or nothing for him, apparently.

Addressing his critics, he said this fight is exactly what they asked for, while apologizing to the people of the United Kingdom. He confidently predicted that on December 19th in Miami, broadcast live globally on Netflix, he will defeat Joshua and mark a changing of the guard in the boxing world.”
