Jake Paul, a YouTuber who has transitioned into boxing, has been contacted by Neeraj Goyat, an Indian professional boxer, for a bout. According to Goyat, Paul has not competed against any large-name boxers, and he believes that the Indian will be a challenging opponent for the American.

The professional boxer, who was born in Haryana, issued a challenge to Paul on his Instagram account, and to everyone’s surprise, “The Problem Child” responded very immediately. Paul asserted that he was prepared to engage in combat at any moment and in any location. 

Goyat made it sound like a contest between India and the United States of America. That storyline was not acceptable to a great number of fans, including Paul, in the end. A second remark was made by Paul on the post, in which he requested that Indians prevent Goyat from using such a narrative; otherwise, the match would not be able to take place.

Another reel was uploaded by Goyat, who referred to Jake Paul as “Fake Paul.” He once again issued a challenge to Paul to engage in combat, and it appeared like Paul and Goyat were on the verge of a battle. An additional remark was made by Most Valuable Promotions on Goyat’s article, in which they stated that they were prepared to discuss the possibility of a match. So, let’s have a look at the statistics of the two fighters, shall we?

Both Paul and Goyat have navigated their jobs in very different ways throughout their lives. Goyat has spent his entire life competing in boxing matches. When he was 15 years old, he began his amateur career and went on to earn a great deal of success. A Youth National Champion, Goyat went on to win a bronze medal at the Youth Commonwealth Games. He was also a Youth National Champion.

In November 2011, the Indian fighter made his debut in the professional ranks, however he was defeated by the Chinese fighter Gou Wen Dong. Prior to achieving his first victory, which came against Rahul Sonkamble in 2013, he had to wait for a total of four subsequent battles. Goyat embarked on a winning streak of ten matches, beginning in October 2013 and end in 2017. For three consecutive years, 2015, 2016, and 2017, he won the title of WBC Asia champion. In addition, he made history by becoming the first Indian to ever enter the WBC rankings. 

On the other hand, Paul launched his boxing career with a victory over Ali Al-Fakhri in January of the year 2020. Before suffering his first defeat at the hands of Tommy Fury, he had fought a number of former mixed martial arts competitors and had a perfect record of 6-0. Paul won his most recent bout, which took place on December 15, 2023, by knocking out Andre August in the first round.

The astonishing amount of $80 million is what Celebrity Net Worth estimates Paul’s net worth to be at this moment. In a study that was published by CA Knowledge, it was stated that Paul had earned more than $18 million with his boxing salary up until May of 2023. Immediately after that, Paul competed against Nate Diaz in August and won more than two million dollars. Paul made over $1.2 million from his most recent fight, which took place in December and was against Andre August. There is no information available regarding Goyat’s exact earnings and net worth. 

According to sources, a battle between Paul and Goyat is being explored for the date of March 2, 2023. As a result of Goyat’s desire to defeat Paul in Puerto Rico, the location of Paul’s birthplace, the bout is anticipated to take place in Puerto Rico. It would appear that Goyat’s better experience as a professional boxer will be the most important factor in determining whether or not he defeats the American. On the other hand, there have been no official pronouncements made as of yet.
