Paul Bamba, who was due to fight Tommy Fury in Dubai last weekend, is planning legal action after losing over £30,000 on his cancelled bout with the Brit.
The former Marine, who is 5-2 as a professional boxer, was scheduled to face Fury at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai on Sunday night on the undercard of Deji vs Floyd Mayweather. But the fight was cancelled over a dispute surrounding the pair's weights after he tipped the scales at 174.6lb while the Brit was 181.4lb.
Fury insists that he made his contracted weight, but it appears promoters Global Titan Fight Series had different weights on their two contracts leading to a discrepancy that couldn't be fixed by fight night. Bamba doubts that story, and is planning to take his case further after spending thousands and being forced to leave Dubai on his own dime after his flights home were cancelled.
