I agree twelve days isn't enough time. You can always fight another day. Don't let your ego get in the way, I would rather come into a fight in the best shape I could.

It takes more of man to turn down a fight...i know old but even holds true in the ring i suppose.
What kind of fight is it? How is your cardio now? You might not be in tip top shape but is your cardio decent?
Ok...so the smart thing would be bail on the fight..i recently turned down oppurtunity to fight because i though i wasn't ready (am mma) and well i regret it and i HATE regretting shit. Just food for though...maybe if it isn't that important of a fight just go in there and warrior you way though it but of course the SMART thing would be re-schedule the fight.

No exercise can magically increase your cardiovascular conditioning in a short amount of time. If that were true everyone would be using it.

The body needs progressive resistance over time to undergo adaptions, period.

Think interval traning. Sprints, Tabata Interval protocol(squats, deadlifts, snatches, cleans, swings, push ups, burpees, etc), burpees, burpee+push up combos, hindu squats, etc...

although in 12 days you wont have enough time...it's best to postpone or cancel the fight...dont jeapardize your health bro...one thing you cant get back once you lose it...

Try lots of sprints, or knee tuck jumps, or just plain old sparring for longer rounds

Do a lot of the training for where you are most comfortable in a fight. And then just try to bring the guy where you want him. Finish the fight fast and furiously haha
