Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul held a press conference ahead of their heavyweight fight, scheduled for 19 December 2025 at the Kaseya Center in Miami. The fight will be streamed live on Netflix, drawing attention from boxing fans worldwide.

Joshua confirmed a significant change in his training. He has joined the camp of Oleksandr Usyk in Spain, parting ways with his previous coaches, Ben Davison and Lee Wylie. He described the move as an opportunity to refine his technique and prepare more strategically for this fight.

Regarding Jake Paul, Joshua referred to the bout as a professional challenge. “This is a fight I am taking seriously,” he said, emphasising that he is approaching it as a competitive match rather than a spectacle.

Paul, speaking at the same event, predicted a knockout, highlighting Joshua’s movement as a potential vulnerability. He framed the fight as a chance to demonstrate his legitimacy in boxing. “[This] is Judgment Day,” Paul said, “a win would prove I belong at this level.”

A weight limit has been agreed for the fight: Joshua will not exceed 245 lb, a move designed to minimise the size difference between the competitors.

The press conference avoided excessive theatrics. Joshua and Paul answered questions directly, focusing on the upcoming fight rather than personal rivalries. Former heavyweight Dillian Whyte has called for a rematch with Joshua, but the fighter confirmed his focus is on Paul for this bout.

This fight represents Joshua’s first high-profile match following his defeat to Daniel Dubois in September 2024. His work with Usyk’s team signals a strategic approach to rebuilding in the heavyweight division. The bout carries both commercial significance and professional stakes, offering a platform for each fighter to reinforce their standing.

While the outcome remains uncertain, both fighters made it clear they intend to compete at full intensity. The event is set to attract widespread attention, marking a key moment for boxing in 2025.

The Duchess of Edinburgh visited Peru as part of an official overseas engagement. Her itinerary included meetings with local organisations, community leaders, and government officials.

In Lima, she met with teams working on women’s safety, including groups addressing domestic violence and sexual abuse. Survivors of these issues were present during parts of the discussions.

She also met with organisations involved in child protection and anti-trafficking work. Young people participated in these sessions and shared their experiences with the groups present.

The Duchess visited the Andean highlands, where she met with scientists and community representatives to discuss environmental challenges in the region. Topics included water availability, land management, and the impact of climate conditions on local communities.

During her visit to Cusco, she attended workshops where students practised traditional crafts. She also toured heritage sites and met with preservation teams who explained the effects of tourism on historic structures.

Officials from the British government noted the visit as part of her ongoing international work. She concluded the visit with a meeting at the Government Palace in Lima with President José Jerí, where discussions focused on bilateral cooperation and ongoing UK–Peru projects.

Throughout the visit, the Duchess participated in scheduled cultural and social engagements, observing local initiatives and meeting with staff, leaders, and participants of the programmes she visited.

The visit highlighted ongoing issues in social protection, environmental management, and cultural preservation in Peru, and provided opportunities for UK officials and local organisations to discuss current projects and collaboration.

Princess Catherine, the Princess of Wales, attended the national Service of Remembrance at the Armed Forces Memorial in Staffordshire on 11 November, marking her first solo appearance at the annual Armistice Day commemoration.

She wore a structured black Catherine Walker coat and a wide-brimmed hat, keeping to the traditional royal dress code. Two red poppies were pinned neatly to her lapel, and her wreath carried a handwritten note reading: “In memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice. We will remember them. Catherine.”

The Princess’s presence at the National Memorial Arboretum went beyond ceremonial duties. Typically led by a senior royal, this year Catherine represented the family without accompaniment, reflecting her expanding public responsibilities within the monarchy. She took her place among veterans and observed the two-minute silence at 11 a.m. before laying her wreath.

Her outfit choices were deliberate rather than attention-seeking. Her ruby and diamond earrings, reportedly a nod to Prince George’s July birthstone, attracted notice for their personal touch, though Kensington Palace did not confirm any symbolic intent. She also wore the Irish Guards brooch, acknowledging her honorary role as Colonel of the regiment. Each element reinforced her connection to the institution she represents and to the military families she came to honour.

Following the service, Catherine met veterans, families, and students with parents currently serving in the armed forces. Conversations were brief but sincere. One attendee said the Princess “asked about our relatives who served and really listened.” These interactions highlight the monarchy’s ongoing efforts to balance tradition with visible empathy, a key part of the modern royal role.

Armistice Day formed part of a broader royal schedule of remembrance. While Catherine led the service in Staffordshire, King Charles and Queen Camilla hosted veterans at Windsor Castle, and Prince William attended events with the Royal British Legion. The distribution of appearances reflects how the monarchy is evolving, sharing public duties while keeping the focus on national service.

Catherine’s solo appearance does not signal a major shift for the royal family but demonstrates her steady transition into a more central public role.
