It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of beloved boxer, Paul Bamba, at the age of 35. Just six days after winning his first title, Bamba tragically passed away. His victory against Rogelio Medina Luna in New Jersey last Saturday earned him the WBA Gold Cruiserweight belt, a monumental achievement in his career.
Bamba's journey to professional boxing was not a typical one. A former Marine who served in Iraq for seven months, Bamba found his passion for the sport in 2021. Last month, he became the first client of Ne-Yo's new management company, marking a new and exciting chapter in his career.
In a statement released by Ne-Yo and the Bamba family, they expressed their deep sorrow over the loss of their beloved son, brother, friend, and boxing champion. Bamba was known for his unwavering determination and drive, both in and out of the ring. He inspired many with his fierce yet confident demeanor, and his light and love touched countless lives.
As the news of Bamba's passing spread, his fellow boxers and fans were left in shock and mourning. Speaking after his win last Saturday, Bamba called out Jake Paul for a fight in 2025. He challenged Paul, who has been known for his gimmick fights, to face him for a real title. Bamba's message was clear - he had put in the hard work and earned his place in the boxing world, unlike Paul who had yet to prove himself.
Bamba's determination and hard work were evident in his impressive record of 14 fights, 14 knockouts in just one year. He was scheduled to fight Tommy Fury in Dubai in November 2022, but the bout was canceled due to a dispute over the weight. Bamba's ambition and drive were unmatched, and he was not one to wait for opportunities but instead created them for himself.
Despite his passing, Bamba's legacy will live on in the hearts of those who knew him and the boxing world. He will be remembered for his exceptional talent, determination, and his ability to inspire others. The Bamba family has asked for privacy and understanding during this difficult time as they navigate their grief. Paul Bamba may have left this world too soon, but his impact and spirit will never be forgotten.
