Jesse Holland is among the longest-tenured media professionals in the combat sports news space, covering MMA, professional wrestling and boxing on a full-time basis since early 2004.

Jake Paul and Cedric Doumbe came face-to-face for the first time earlier today in Paris at the conclusion of their kickoff press conference in “The City of Light” (watch it here). Paul and Doumbe are scheduled to box atop a special MVP fight card on Christmas Eve (Dec. 24) at Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai, for some reason.

Watch them face off below:

Paul was originally in talks to box former UFC middleweight Darren Till.

“I thought we were all good to go,” Till told Uncrowned. “I’ve been in camp for the past two weeks with my coach and out of nowhere, this f***ing daft fight gets announced with Cédric Doumbé. I don’t think anyone outside of his own household even knows who he is. Jake probably just wants to see how his jaw’s holding up against someone who weighs about 150 pounds on a good day.”

“It’s just a fraudulent show,” Till added. “Everyone’s a fraud. Jake’s a fraud. [Nakisa Bidarian’s] a little fraud, wasting my time. Couldn’t give a f**k. If you want to fight me next year, fight me next year. But yeah. I’ve just wasted about [$6,705] getting my coach out here for camp and stuff like that, but it doesn’t matter. It’s all good.”
