Logan Paul asked "Who the f*** is that?" when his brother Jake revealed Cedric Doumbe as his next opponent on camera.

The pair were at the side of a boxing ring in a gym, with Jake's hands wrapped, when Logan said: "I don't know who you're fighting. This is my reaction. You tell me." Jake replied: "Christmas Eve in Dubai, Coca-Cola Arena. Me versus Cedric Doumbe." Logan answered "No f***ing way" before asking who Doumbe was.

"That's what I thought," Jake said. "He's a 2-time world champion kickboxer and Glory champion and PFL champion." He went on: "And he's French and he's like super big in France." Logan's reply was: "That's crazy."

Jake then pointed to the view counts from his past fights. "But I will say, me knocking out Andre August, 90 million views. Mike Perry, 30 million views ... It doesn't matter who they are," he said. Logan later said: "My brother just beats people up and I just play with cardboard."

The Dubai bout is an eight-round contest at 200lbs and Paul's first fight since Anthony Joshua broke his jaw and knocked him out last December. Doumbe has a kickboxing record of 75-7-1 with 45 knockouts, and has promised: "I'm going to finish the job Joshua started."

Logan is not alone in questioning the name. Darren Till, who says he had been in camp for two weeks preparing to fight Paul on 24 December when Doumbe was announced, said of the Frenchman: "I don't think anyone outside of his own household even knows who he is."
