Jake Paul, gearing up for his fight against Ryan Bourland, faces a new challenge – this time from across the globe. Indian boxer Neeraj Goyat, fueled by a desire to prove himself, made his way to Puerto Rico, where Paul is currently staying to prepare for his fight and both got into a scuffle.
Goyat, an accomplished boxer with Olympic aspirations, first called out Paul after the YouTuber-turned-boxer announced his March 2nd bout. This timely challenge garnered significant attention, especially considering Paul’s massive Indian fanbase. However, Paul ultimately chose Ryan Bourland, leaving Goyat disappointed. Thus after warning Paul of his intention to visit Puerto Rico to challenge him face to face, he ended up doing it. Here’s how the situation quickly went out of hand.

Previously as Jake Paul responded to Goyat’s threat, he simply stated, “Come and see me!” and that he is easy to find. It appears that Goyat was successful in his attempt to find Paul. The YouTuber-turned-boxer shared the video of the whole interaction on social media. In the Instagram video, Goyat can be seen getting out of his car as he screams, “Oye 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 in your gym, man. Now abuse.”
Goyat added, “I’m here, I’m in your country. I am in your town! I’m here in your gym man!”. However, Paul claimed that Goyat came here to see him despite not really wanting to fight him though. Meanwhile, Goyat asked Paul to use abusive language in his face. Paul quickly joked, “Listen brother, you can’t handle all that sh*t talk? Did I hurt your feelings?” This made Amanda Serrano step in.

However, Neeraj told her, “I respect you” and asked her to not intervene. When Paul once again stated, “You don’t wanna fight,” Goyat threw hands. He tried to grab Paul before being pulled away. As Paul looks forward to his fight which is just days ahead, this interaction hints at a potential bout in the making. But Goyat is not the only boxer interested in ‘The Problem Child.’
Ferguson calls out Jake Paul for a boxing match
MMA veteran Tony Ferguson, known as “El Cucuy,” has set his sights on the boxing world, specifically calling out Jake Paul. Ferguson, 40, is a legend in MMA, holding an impressive 12-fight win streak between 2013 and 2019. However, he has faced a challenging period recently by losing six consecutive fights.
Despite the setbacks, Ferguson’s fighting spirit remains undimmed. He recently expressed his desire to face Paul in the boxing ring, stating on the JAXXON Podcast, “I’d love to fight you, dude.”
Ferguson acknowledged potential disapproval from UFC president Dana White but made his stance clear. He stated, ” I don’t give a f**k what Dana says. He knows already he don’t owe me sh*t and I don’t owe him nothing. I’ve done enough for this f**king company.”
