Indian boxer Neeraj Goyat calls out Jake Paul for boxing match

Former three-time WBC Asia champion Neeraj Goyat challenged Jake Paul to a fight in a recent Instagram video. The callout has gone viral amongst Indian audiences and received a swift response from Paul.

Check out his callout below:

Paul agreed to take on Goyat '"any time, any place" to which the Indian boxer responded that he was open to 'The Problem Child's' terms and conditions. Paul also remarked at Goyat's weight class and the disparity between their fighting weights. He joked about tying one of his hands behind his back:

"Brother you too small. Walking around at 150 Ibs? Maybe I tie one arm behind my back?"

Goyat retorted that both Jake Paul and Logan Paul combined couldn't take him on:

"@jakepaul the bigger they are the harder they fall I'm ready to fight you at any weight My walking weight right now is 158lbs n I don't care about yours Your both hands and your brother's both hands will be less to even touch me"
