Jake Paul has followed up on his efforts to push for professional fighters' rights by coming out in support of pro boxer Paul Bamba.
Bamba replied to a tweet by Global Titans Fight Series, who are looking to land a joint pay-per-view with Paul's Most Valuable Promotions, and complained about their ill-treatment of fighters and payment issues.
"@jakepaul they don’t pay , and they treat fighters very badly. I know you won’t have the money issues with them but others will down the road. You’ll be co-signing them if you do it"

'The Problem Child' quoted Bamba and refused to work with Global Titans owing to their treatment of fighters.
"One thing I’m never going to do is do business with people who don’t treat fighters well. Pay Paul Bamba."

Paul Bamba was scheduled to fight Tommy Fury on the Global Titans' Mayweather vs. Deji card, but Fury's inability to make weight resulted in the fight being scrapped. Despite Bamba making the weight stipulated in the contract, he has not been paid what he's owed by the promotion. Unlike Bamba, Fury has been reimbursed in full on the basis of a contractual error.
Jake Paul and Tommy Fury continue tense negotiations for a potential 2023 bout
Tommy Fury has continued to insist that Global Titans be a part of his bout against Jake Paul, but the recent developments concerning Paul Bamba may have jeopardized the situation.
Jake Paul and Most Valuable Promotions have continued to stress that they remain in contact with Frank Warren and Queensberry Promotions. Earlier this week, Paul blasted Fury and his father, John Fury on Twitter.
Paul refused to stick to the terms of their old agreement and demanded that a renegotiated deal be signed by the Furys. He also adamantly stated that he would not be risking his money on a fight with them.
"You & your papa are both frauds. My team & I will never risk a quid on u again. I’m not paying u a pence u dimwit so there’s no old agreement / terms. My team has spoken to the Warrens multiple times this week & the deal is your promoter is paying you. Sign the paperwork."
