As Jake Paul gears up for his next big fight, he receives another call out from a fighter, far away. However, the latter, in all his enthusiasm, is ready to make the distance to confront ‘Problem Child’. Yes, Indian-boxer, Neeraj Goyat is ready to travel to Puerto Rico, himself to get their fight rolling. So much dedication? What for?

Neeraj Goyat, an Olympic-level fighter from Chandigarh, India, had earlier thrown his name in the hat when Paul had announced his upcoming March 2 fight. The call-out picked quick traction given the timing and relevance of it. The influencer boxer has a massive fan base in India and a fight against a boxer of their own proved to be highly interesting for Paul. However, Paul settled on Ryan Bourland, moving past Goyat. Months later, Goyat is at it again, instigating Paul. This time, he did not await a response. What will be the culmination of this fiasco? An interesting area to look out for.

Come March 2, in a San Juan, Puerto Rico fight, Jake Paul will fight his second pro-boxer opponent, Ryan Bourland. He co-headlines the event with the unified featherweight champion, Amanda Serrano, who will take on her German challenger, Nina Meinke. As the 27-year-old is preparing for this crucial fight, Goyat sent him a non-negotiable ultimatum.

On his Instagram, the 32-year-old fighter posted a reel, that catered to both his Hindi and English-speaking fanbase. Goyat started with, “Yo, Jake Paul, where are you? He’s all talks, no action. He was saying he will come to India but what happened to him? He’s gone missing. Jake Paul I can’t find you anywhere in India.” The clip showcases numerous missing posters of Jake Paul plastered throughout the town.

In a snub-of sorts, he further noted the difference between him and Problem Child. “There is a difference between you and me. You’re just a piece of sh*t. Nah, you’re not even a fart. But, I, Neeraj Goyat, I do what I say. Jake Paul, I’m coming to Puerto Rico to beat the sh*t out of you,” declared Goyat.

In a recent press conference, Paul was quizzed on the challenge he’s received from the 18-4-2 record-holder, Goyat. Paul, who undertook three crucial fights last year, in a candid response, noted, “Neeraj has made some noise. His callout video got 25M views. He’s India’s biggest and best boxer. So, it is interesting to me. It could be fun to go over to India and knock him out in his home country. Maybe one day, but we’ll see.”

As soon as the post was made, a response arrived from Paul. ‘The Problem Child’ considered this threat by Goyat to be a grave mistake.
