Kate suffers from cerebral palsy, which affects her muscles and coordination skills, but was inspired to take up boxing after the 2016 Olympics.
It has always been her dream to meet Joshua, and she was given the shock of her life when the 6ft 6in Londoner asked if she wanted to spar.
Kate, who trains five times a week, was told she would be doing an interview discussing her experience of boxing and where she hopes the sport can take her.
As the interview plays out, Joshua appears and said: “What’s up Kate? I heard you wanted to fight me?”
A stunned Kate replied: “Oh my god!”
Joshua then asked: “Out of everyone, why do you want to box me?”
And she replied: “Because you’re the best of course!”
Kate then revealed she is a southpaw, which doesn’t phase orthodox AJ, who said: “I’ve seen it – jab, jab, jab then you throw the overhand left, I know your tactics.”
The two then get into the ring, and Joshua, on his knees, goes down after a quick combination from Kate.
AJ tweeted: “I wish we could do this more often! Teamed up with @BulkPowders to visit a young lady who’s found inspiration from boxing.”
