Jake Paul in physical altercation with Indian boxer Neeraj Goyat just days before next fight

Jake Paul got into it with Indian boxer Neeraj Goyat just days before his next scheduled fight.

Jake Paul got into a physical altercation with Neeraj Goyat just days before his next scheduled fight.

The 8-1 boxer was the biggest talking point in boxing at one stage but his stock appears to have dropped following a split decision loss to Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia in February 2023.

Paul has bounced back with wins over Nate Diaz and Andre August but the hype surrounding him is nowhere near the same level.

The Problem Child’s next bout sees him come up against Ryan Bourland in the co-main event on the Amanda Serrano vs Nina Meinke card in Puerto Rico this weekend.

Under his Most Valuable Promotions umbrella, Paul will compete in his current home of Puerto Rico for the first time.

But while Bourland is his scheduled opponent, the 27-year-old clashed with Goyat in a video which has circulated on social media.

The clip, which was shared by Paul, sees the Indian boxer get out of a car and approach him outside his gym while he was with Serrano.

The two exchanged verbals, with Paul telling him he “respects him for showing up man to man” but that “he doesn’t want to fight”.

Goyat accused the former Disney star of abusing him in his language, telling him“Jake Paul, I’m the man of my word. I’m here. I’m in your country. I’m here in your town. I’m here at your gym, man. Now abuse… You using translate application and you abusing in Indian language. Now abuse.”

In the end, Goyat briefly put his hands on Paul and the two had to be separated.

After a bit of back and forth on social media in the past, many fans felt the video was a rehearsed skit to set up a future fight.

And Paul has already expressed his interest in facing Goyat, 18-4-2 professionally, in his home country of India.

Speaking at a DAZN press conference last month, Paul said: “Neeraj has made some noise. You know, his callout video got 25 million views. He’s India’s biggest and best boxer.

“So, it is interesting to me and I think it could be fun to go over to India and knock him out in his home country. Maybe one day, but we’ll see.”
