Jake Paul has said he will retire from boxing if he loses to MMA star Cedric Doumbe in Dubai on 24 December.
Paul said he would “hang up his gloves” following a defeat, making the result of the bout potentially decisive for his future in the sport. The fight is scheduled to take place in Dubai.
Doumbe is identified as an MMA star, while Paul has built his sporting career in boxing. No further details about the contest or any response from Doumbe are provided in the available material.
Paul’s stated position means that victory would allow him to continue boxing, while defeat would see him bring his career to an end, according to his comments. The next development will be the bout itself on 24 December.
