World champion boxer Paul Bamba has tragically died at the age of 35 days after making history by telling Jake Paul to “come and get it.”
Last weekend, Bamba captured the WBA Gold Cruiserweight world title in Recent Jersey after defeating Rogelio Medina.
The victory marked his 14th knockout of 2024, breaking the record previously held by the legendary Mike Tyson in the heavyweight division. The Puerto Rican-born American boxer has a career record of 19-3 and recently faced Jake Paul following his triumph over Medina.
However, just six days after his victory, he was found dead.
Bamba, whose career has been supported by American singer Ne-Yo’s recently established boxing management company, is leaving the American boxing community in deep shock.
Ne-Yo and Bamba’s family released a heartbreaking statement: “It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of our beloved son, brother, friend and boxing champion Paul Bamba, whose airy and love touched the lives of countless people.”
The statement further praised his extraordinary qualities, stating: “He was a fierce yet confident competitor with an unrelenting ambition for greatness. But most of all, he was an amazing person who inspired many with his exceptional drive and determination.”
Mourning his untimely loss, they asked for privacy, adding: “We are devastated by his death and kindly ask for privacy and understanding at this hard time as we navigate our grief together.”
Bamba was trained by Malik Scott, married to CBS Sports anchor Kate Abdo and was scheduled to fight Tommy Fury in November 2022 before the fight was canceled.
Bamba took the boxing world by storm in 2024, fighting every month except September and sometimes facing multiple opponents in a month.
On Christmas Day, Bamba wrote on Instagram: “This year I set myself a goal. That’s exactly what I did! It wasn’t uncomplicated, there were many obstacles that I managed to overcome and maintain the path I had chosen regardless of extenuating circumstances. 14 fights 14 knockouts, ending with the title of WBA GOLD world champion in the cruiserweight weight. Blessed to have my family, my team and all my supporters with me if you have what some might call a “weird goal.” Anyone who thinks they are not as brave as you, prove people wrong!”
After Bamba’s latest victory, his manager Ne-Yo took to Instagram to praise his client: “PAUL BAMBA made history last night! Breaking Mike Tyson’s record, 14 fights in one year, EVERYTHING ENDS IN Knockouts! Ending the year with the cruiserweight title WORLD TITLE! And the best is yet to come. Congratulations, my boy! It’s an honor to be your manager. Let’s continue!
Dominating in the ring with an unblemished streak in 2024, Bamba issued a challenge to Jake Paul following his latest victory, stating: “[Jake Paul] you can come to get it, you can fight for it or whatever, you can keep doing trick fights.
“At the end of the day, I put in a lot of work. You could say you took boxing seriously and yes, you made a lot of money, but you didn’t make anything from boxing.”
“If you think about how I started, compared to how things are going now, I didn’t wait for the opportunity that I created,” he continued. “And I went out and grabbed it by the horns, so to speak, and this year I did what I had to do. Look at the facts: 14 fights, 14 KOs in one year, how many belts do I have here?
Paul also addressed the skepticism among his opponents, saying: “I know I’m the best in the world and I will [the] world champion. The line is long and they can buy a ticket and get in line to see who I want to fight next.”
Bamba, who was scheduled to face Tommy Fury in a highly anticipated fight in Dubai in 2022, expressed frustration after the event was canceled due to Fury being seven pounds overweight. “It seems like they were planning to screw me all along,” he told The Mirror. “My contract said we had to be the same weight and they were going to give me another option like they did to Tommy.”
