Jake Paul has purchased shares in the UFC's parent company as he continues to champion increasing fighter pay among athletes within the organisation.  

Paul, 24, has long advocated that UFC fighters are not paid their worth, and has endured a bitter back-and-forth with the organisation's president, Dana White, over the last few months.

And in a bid to make changes to the UFC's pay structure, Paul has completed the purchase of stocks in Endeavour Group Holdings - the company which owns the UFC - alongside investment partner Geoffrey Woo.
