Jake Paul v Cedric Doumbe: 'Crazy I'll Get to Knock My Boss Out,' Says Doumbe
Paul says his jab will control the eight-round cruiserweight fight as Doumbé looks to prove his power carries into boxing.
- On Christmas Eve in Dubai, Jake Paul faces Cedric Doumbe in an eight-round cruiserweight bout at Coca-Cola Arena, with Paul declaring he is "100% retiring if I lose to this guy."
- Cameroonian-Born Frenchman Doumbe is signed to the Professional Fighters League, which merged with Most Valuable Promotions in July; he called it "crazy" that he will "face my boss and knock him out."
- Regarding Paul as a "joke," Doumbe claims he is "watching videos on Netflix" instead of training, while Paul dismissed his opponent as an "easy tune-up" projecting a four-round stoppage.
- Paul aims to utilize his 200-pound cruiserweight frame against the 170-pound Doumbe, banking rounds behind his jab; Doumbe must slip inside using shoulder feints to land an overhand right.
- Following a career-threatening jaw injury sustained against Anthony Joshua last December, Paul views this bout as crucial to proving his legitimacy, having won 12 of his 14 professional fights.
