Paul Bamba’s Net Worth: How Much Money Did He Make?

The late boxer died less than a week after taking home the world championship title at 35 years old.

In 2022, Bamba opened up about his journey after moving to New York City “to make it in life,” he wrote in a lengthy Instagram caption. “When I look back and remember I had to sleep by the stove for warmth, hand wash then dry my clothes in the oven (low temps work promise) eat MANY uncomfortable sleeps for dinner — And when that wasn’t enough, live on the trains of New York City totaling 15 months (6 train & 7 at one point) — I realize I’m really just built for whatever the f**k is thrown at me, and I set my sights on [sic],” Bamba wrote. Three months before Bamba died, his match in September was canceled at the last minute due to an “unforeseen medical issue,” Rising Star Promotions revealed in a statement on Instagram.
