@allprosportsmedia: Jake Paul is making his return to the boxing ring, and he’s bringing the action to Dubai. The YouTube personality turned boxer is scheduled to face former kickboxing world champion Cédric Doumbé on December 24 at Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai. The eight-round matchup will take place at 200 pounds, with both fighters wearing 10-ounce gloves. The announcement comes as Paul prepares for his first fight since suffering a devastating sixth-round knockout against Anthony Joshua in December 2025. That defeat left Paul with a fractured jaw that required multiple surgeries. Paul enters the matchup with a boxing record of 12-2, looking to reestablish himself following the first knockout loss of his career. Doumbé presents an interesting challenge. The Cameroon-born, French-raised fighter is a two time GLORY kickboxing world champion with an impressive 75-7-1 kickboxing record, including 45 knockouts. #JakePaul #CedricDoumbe #Boxing #AllProSports
