Neeraj Goyat, a three-time WBC Asian Champion in the super lightweight division, recently issued a direct challenge to American YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul via an Instagram video. Promising an exceptional showdown, Goyat offered Jake Paul the liberty to choose the time and venue, emphasizing his confidence in proving himself as the superior boxer.
Responding to Goyat’s callout, Jake Paul accepted the challenge but steered away from making it about nationalities, preferring to focus solely on the competition between Jake and Neeraj. In a bit of trash talk, Paul highlighted the weight difference, noting Goyat’s 150 lbs against his typical competing weight of 185-190 lbs, suggesting it might be too much for Goyat and predicting a knockout victory.
Sharing Goyat’s video on his story, Jake Paul expressed his desire to make the fight happen. Goyat, in response, surfaced Jake’s acceptance, mentioning his strategy of showcasing defensive skills by keeping his arms behind his back, daring Jake Paul to touch him while he does some showboating.
This exchange has sparked excitement among Indian fans, envisioning an intense showdown on the horizon.
