Goyal tweeted that he met Goyat on The Kapil Sharma Show while appearing as a guest. The Zomato boss wrote, “Zomato is excited to back @GoyatNeeraj as he makes India proud on a global stage. We are thrilled to be a small part of Neeraj’s journey, as his official sponsors. Rooting for him. Punch up, brother.”
Haryana’s Neeraj Goyat began his boxing career in 2006 and won gold at the Youth National Tournament in 2008. Goyat is the first Indian boxer to be ranked in the WBC World Rankings for three consecutive years from 2015 to 2017, following victories in three WBC Asia titles.
An unfortunate car accident in 2018 forced him to withdraw from an important match against British boxer Amir Khan. However, he made an impressive comeback by publicly challenging social media influencer and boxer Jake Paul, which drew huge public attention. Incidentally, the star boxer has appeared in music videos and films.
The highly-awaited match is scheduled for Friday, November 15. Originally set for July 20, it was postponed because of a medical issue that affected Tyson's training. The match will stream exclusively on Netflix.
