Jake Paul was involved in a heated altercation with Indian boxer Neeraj Goyat after being confronted in a car park on the eve of his next fight.
Paul, who will meet American Ryan Bourland this Saturday evening in Puerto Rico, was walking with women’s featherweight champion Amanda Serrano when Goyat stopped him in the parking lot.
The 32-year-old super lightweight (18-4-2) traveled from India to the Caribbean island to face Paul in the flesh, calling himself a man of his word after promising to do so.
After appearing to accuse Paul of insulting him in the Indian language, the YouTuber-turned-fighter says in a video on his social media account: “So you can’t stand a little nonsense? Did I hurt your feelings?’

The pair had to be separated in a parking lot after Goyat confronted Paul in the flesh
While Goyat denies being injured, Paul then shouts: ‘Listen brother… fuck you three times brother.’
Serrano then tries to defuse the situation, but tempers flare between the pair when Paul shoves Goyat in the chest.
The latter then grabs the back of Paul’s head before an unknown member of his team intervenes.
Serrano, who fights under Paul’s MVP promotional banner, can then be heard saying, “It’s fight week, fight week!”
The Problem Child shared the video on Instagram with the caption: ‘@neeraj_goyat respect to you little guy for flying all the way from India to NEERAJ fans… where in India do you want to see me knock him out?’
Paul, a former YouTuber who has used his internet fame to promote his fledgling boxing career, will face Bourland, a former Golden Gloves champion, on March 2 in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The fight card is co-headlined by Serrano, who returns to her home island to take on Nina Meinke.
