Anthony Joshua is preparing for a high-stakes fight against Jake Paul in Miami on December 19, requiring him to shed approximately 20lb to meet the weight limit of 245lb. Despite initial resistance, Joshua is determined to challenge Paul for a prize pot of $140 million, with each fighter set to earn $70 million.
