Jake Paul and Cédric Doumbé are back for the second time this week with another kickoff press conference for their Christmas Eve boxing match in Dubai. Their first stop was in Paris, France, to rally the Doumbé supporters and today’s festivities in Dubai are for all the local fans planning to hit Coca-Cola Arena on Dec. 24.
Today’s press conference gets underway LIVE at 9 a.m. ET in the embedded video above.
“We’re ready for this guy,” Paul said. “Kickboxing world champion, Glory champion, one of the
best in MMA. This guy’s great. He is great. Very bien. But he’s getting knocked the f—k out on Christmas Eve. Kickboxing will not help him, people. On December 24th, the legs will just be used for transportation. This is boxing. He’s gonna learn a very, very hard lesson. And at the end of the day, he’s still a tune-up fight for me.”
“He has all of these fans, he’s a big name,” Paul continued. “He’s a world champion. He’s one of the best kickboxers, one of the best MMA fighters. He’s young, still on top. He has a big following, and I have said it before, and I’ll say it every single time. I’ll fight anyone, anytime, any place. And this is the fight that lined up and made the most sense. And he’s Muslim. We’re going to Dubai; it’s gonna be a movie. It doesn’t get better than this. So I’m very excited. He’s the perfect opponent for me.”
