The eight-round cruiserweight bout pits Paul’s power against Doumbé’s kickboxing pedigree as both men trade taunts ahead of the matchup.

  • On Christmas Eve in Dubai, Jake Paul will face Cedric Doumbe in an eight-round cruiserweight bout, confirming last week he is "100% retiring if I lose to this guy."

  • Despite limited professional boxing experience, the 34-year-old Doumbe dismissed his training, stating he is "watching videos on Netflix" because he regards Paul as a "joke."

  • Paul aims to prove his explosive power at Coca-Cola Arena in his first bout since being stopped by Anthony Joshua last December in the 200-pound cruiserweight ring.
