Paul to fight MMA star Doumbe on 24 December

Jake Paul has announced he will fight MMA star Cedric Doumbe on 24 December in Dubai.

The bout will be Paul's first fight since losing to former British heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua last December.

American Paul had to have two titanium plates fitted and some teeth removed after Joshua broke his jaw during the contest.

The 29-year-old influencer said in May that his boxing career was "most definitely" in doubt following the injury, but he will now return to action on Christmas Eve.

The event, which will take place at the Coca-Cola Arena, will be a professionally sanctioned eight-round cruiserweight bout with the fighters using 10oz gloves.
