Jake Paul’s popularity is breaking the boundaries and confines of the country’s borders. In a recent twist of fate, Neeraj Goyat, a professional boxer from India, has called out ‘The Problem Child’ for a fight. The update comes after Jake’s next fight was announced recently, scheduled for March 2 next year in Puerto Rico. The event will also feature Amanda Serrano defending her titles against IBF mandatory challenger Nina Meinke. 

However, Jake’s opponent hasn’t been announced at the moment, leaving fans to speculate who the opponent could be. Meanwhile, Paul turned to his Instagram story today to share a video from 18-4-2 Goyat, calling him out to fight a “real boxer.” While the chances of Goyat being his next opponent aren’t totally out of the question, there hasn’t been any official confirmation from Jake’s corner. 

Neeraj Goyat claims Jake Paul just fights easy opponents

In the video, Goyat claimed he is the best professional boxer in India while suggesting all of Paul’s opponents are easy. The Chandigarh, India native went on to suggest that if Paul was a real American, he would accept his challenge. Alongside the clip, Goyat wrote in the caption, “I challenge @jakepaul for a fight. I request everyone to mention @jakepaul @mostvaluablepromotions @betr in your comments, and let’s make it happen.” 

Paul decided to respond to Goyet on the post itself, as he commented, “Brother you too small. Walking around at 150 lbs? Maybe I tie one arm behind my back?” Also adding, “Any time any place” in a later comment. Even Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions reached out through the comment section stating, “We have reached out to start discussions. Please check DM.” About 16 hours later, Paul responded to the callout in his Insta story with, “Please make this happen @mostvaluablepromotions.” While preparations for his next fight are underway, here’s what he said about the upcoming event.
