'My boss will pay me to knock him out' - Doumbe

Cedric Doumbe says it is "crazy" he will get the chance to "face my boss and knock him out" when he fights Jake Paul in Dubai on 24 December.

Doumbe is signed to the Professional Fighters League (PFL) - an MMA organisation that Paul's Most Valuable Promotions merged with in July.

The pair will fight on Christmas Eve in Paul's first bout since being stopped by former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua last December.

In a news conference in Paris to promote the event, Cameroonian-born Frenchman Doumbe thanked MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian for his role in setting up the fight against Paul.
