The boxing world has lost a champion.
Paul Bamba, one of the first boxers to sign with Ne-Yo‘s management company, died at age 35.
“It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of beloved son, brother, friend and boxing champion Paul Bamba, whose light and love touched countless lives,” a joint statement from the singer-turned-manager and the Bamba family shared on Instagram Dec. 27 read. “He was a fierce yet confident competitor with an unrelenting ambition to achieve greatness.”
“But more than anything, he was a tremendous individual that inspired many with his exceptional drive and determination,” the post continued. “We are heartbroken by his passing and kindly ask for privacy and understanding during this difficult time as we collectively navigate our grief.”
Bamba’s cause of death was not disclosed.
News of the athlete’s passing comes six days after his win against Rogelio Medina Luna for the WBA Gold Cruiserweight World Champion title. Bamba, who made his professional boxing debut in 2021, signed with Ne-Yo shortly before the fight.
