Jake Paul took a risque shot at the packed Paris crowd while trash talking with Cedric Doumbe tonight at their launch press conference.

Paul is returning to the ring to take on kickboxing world champion and PFL star Doumbe on Christmas Eve after having his jaw broken by Anthony Joshua last December. They began the promotion today in France, with a massive group of fans showing up to support their home fighter.

The duo delivered for the capacity crowd with a comical back-and-forth, that included Paul insisting that the fight will be his last if he loses. One comment, though, may have been a bit too far when he made fun of recent protests in the French capital.

Jake Paul was on the receiving end of loud and aggressive chants from the Paris crowd, who were particularly keen on Cedric Doumbe. The pair are both charismatic characters, and Paul even lauded his rival for talking trash.

At one point, he joked and asked the aggressive French crowd “Why are you booing, Paris? Didn’t this place burn down?” This didn’t seem to rile up Doumbe, and Paul later added that “My grandpa died in World War II. We saved you. Without my family, you wouldn’t f—ing be here.”

Paul and Doumbe ended up facing off with Most Valuable Promotions boss Nakisa Bidarian between them. They mouthed off at one another, but in a rare move for a crossover fight they stayed away from getting physical.
