Jake Paul provides 3 major updates on United Fighters Association 

Jake Paul is seemingly making an earnest attempt to form a Unified Fighters Association. 'The Problem Child' recently provided three major updates about the same on social media.

Paul had previously declared that his team was working on a logo design and website for the organization, which is to be managed by an interim board for the time being. The YouTuber-turned-pro boxer also opened the logo design race to the public, guaranteeing $5k for the selected logo.

Jake Paul now claims to have narrowed the competition down to three finalists. His next goal is to hire a law firm for the association and also identify fighters who could potentially lead an interim board. The 25-year-old wrote on Twitter:

"UFA (United Fighters Association) update: 1) Working with a law firm that specializes in labor & employment law. 2) Identifying key current & previous fighters to lead the interim board. 3) Logo design narrowed down to 3 finalists. It’s time for fighters to come together."

Paul has long been rallying to have a fighters association in MMA like the unions found in the NFL and NBA. Paul recently knocked out UFC legend Anderson Silva in his last fight, with the wager being that 'The Spider' should join him in forming the aforementioned association in case of a loss.

Jake Paul claims UFC fighters are under slave contracts

While Jake Paul's Fighters Association might be far from coming to fruition, 'The Problem Child' has certainly amped up talk of the same in recent times. During a recent interview with Anthony Pompliano, Paul went on a tirade about poor UFC fighter pay and lack of healthcare.

Paul accused the UFC of exploiting its fighters by making them pay for their own healthcare while the promotion pockets the lions' share of profits. 'The Problem Child' claims to be working with Anderson Silva to put together a fighters association that will hopefully change things. He told Pompliano:

"These fighters are risking their lives and some of them can barely afford their gym bills. To me that is where I want to see change. That is why I am working on the United Fighters association with Anderson because I know how hard they work and how much they are sacrificing. It just sucks to see them getting taken advantage of and they are the most profitable sporting organisation in the world because they don't pay their fighters. Their fighters are basically in slave contracts."
