YouTube personality turned professional boxer Jake Paul is scheduled to face former kickboxing champion Cédric Doumbé in Dubai on Christmas Eve, according to reports announced Tuesday.
The matchup pits Paul, who has built a boxing career after gaining fame on social media, against Doumbé, a decorated kickboxer transitioning to boxing. The fight is set to take place in Dubai on December 24.
Paul most recently fought former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua on December 19, 2025, at Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida. That bout marked Paul's first fight against a traditional boxing elite.
Details regarding the weight class, undercard, and broadcast arrangements for the Dubai event have not yet been disclosed.
