'Crazy' I'll get to 'knock my boss out' - Doumbe
Cedric Doumbe says it is "crazy" he will get the chance to "face my boss and knock him out" when he fights Jake Paul in Dubai on 24 December.
Cedric Doumbe, a former kickboxing world champion, is set to face his boss Jake Paul in an MMA bout on December 24 in Dubai. The Professional Fighters League (PFL) event marks the first time Doumbe will face his employer. Doumbe, who is signed to the PFL, expressed his excitement about the opportunity to knock out Paul, whom he considers a joke in the boxing world.
Despite having only one professional boxing win, Doumbe claims he is prepared to defeat Paul by focusing on losing weight. Paul, a social media influencer turned professional fighter, has won 12 of his 14 professional fights, with his only loss coming against Anthony Joshua. He stated that he would retire if he were to lose to Doumbe, emphasizing the stark differences between boxing and MMA.
