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.",
