Jake Paul hails Dubai as "perfect place" for Christmas Eve comeback fight

AFP

Jake Paul says Dubai is the "perfect place" to mount his professional fighting comeback against Cedric Doumbe on December 24.

The 29-year-old American influencer-turned-boxer hasn't fought since breaking his jaw in a defeat to Anthony Joshua last December.

But speaking exclusively to Dubai Eye 103.8's The Score, Paul is excited for his comeback against French MMA star Doumbe at the Cola-Cola Arena:

He has also refuted suggestions his upcoming Dubai fight with Doumbe will be 'fixed'.

Paul is ostensibly Doumbe's boss having recently seen his MVP promotion merge with the Professional Fighters League, with whom the Frenchman fights under.

In conversation on The Score, Paul laughed off the 'rigged' claims:

You can catch the full interview with Jake Paul on The Score on Dubai Eye 103.8 from 7 o'clock tonight.
