Jake Paul has declared he will "hang up his gloves" if he loses to Cédric Doumbé in their upcoming bout, which marks Paul's first fight in a year.
The YouTube-turned-boxer faces the French kickboxing champion Doumbé in a highly anticipated crossover match. Paul, 27, has not competed since his previous fight a year ago.
BBC Sport journalist Mike Peter reported on November 4, 2026, that Paul made the retirement pledge ahead of the contest.
