Prior to agreeing to a fight with Mike Tyson, Jake Paul was stuck in a war of words with a different boxer \u2013 Neeraj Goyat. Goyat, 32, is an Indian Welterweight who has held several national titles as well as being a three-time WBC Asian Champion and is a massive name in his homeland. Goyat has been eager to fight Jake in India and even flew to Puerto Rico prior to the \u2018Problem Child\u2019s\u2019 wins over Ryan Bourland to confront him. Jake has said he\u2019s open to the fight happening down the road, but he\u2019s currently preparing for two fights \u2013 one in April and another in July against Mike Tyson. One YouTuber boxer that is free, however, is KSI. The Brit had stated he\u2019d retire after losing to Tommy Fury at the end of 2023, but is \u201cback in the gym\u201d and wants to fight Jake Paul. Neeraj Goyat calls out KSI for fight before \u201cpromised\u201d Jake Paul clash Well, Goyat has now set his sights on KSI, blasting the YouTube star\u2019s boxing skills and issuing an open challenge to him. \u201cBefore Jake Paul, I want to destroy this guy, a British influencer who claims to be a boxer. His name is KSI. Tell him I am the butcher of the boxing ring. So, KSI, it\u2019s an open challenge for you,\u201d the Indian boxer said in an Instagram video on March 18. \u201cIf you are a real man, which I doubt, I know you haven\u2019t faced any real boxer in your life. Come fight with me in the boxing ring. I\u2019ll show this world how sh*tty boxer you are, just like your sh*tty music career \u2013 it\u2019s very bad. You have to pay the price of disrespecting our South Asian Community.\u201d The boxer added that he\u2019d make it a \u201ccatch weight\u201d fight and that KSI wouldn\u2019t have to worry about their sizes matching up. \u201cKSI, if you have balls, which I doubt, accept my challenge,\u201d he concluded. Goyat added that he has been \u201cpromised\u201d a fight with Jake in his homeland too. So, that should happen in the future once Jake\u2019s schedule clears up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ex-boxing champ calls out KSI and he still wants Jake Paul fight DAZNKSI has been called out by Neeraj Goyat, the Indian boxer who is desperate to fight Jake Paul, as his planned fight with the YouTuber-turned-boxer is on hold now that he\u2019s fighting Mike Tyson.
