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 face American Ryan Bourland in Puerto Rico this Saturday night, 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 to the Caribbean island from India to face Paul in person, declaring 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-wrestler says in a video posted to his social media account: ‘So you can’t handle shitty small talk?’ Did I hurt your feelings?

The pair had to be separated in a car park after Goyat confronted Paul in person.
While Goyat denies being hurt, Paul yells, “Listen brother…fuck you three times brother.”
Serrano then attempts to calm the situation, only for tempers to boil over 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 slogan, can then be heard telling him: “It’s fight week, fight week!”
The Problem Child shared the video on Instagram along with the caption: ‘@neeraj_goyat respect to you little one for flying from India, to NEERAJ fans… where in India do you want to see me knock him out?’
Paul, a former YouTuber who has leveraged his Internet fame to promote his budding boxing career, will face former Golden Gloves champion Bourland on March 2 in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The card is co-headlined by Serrano, who returns to her home island to face Nina Meinke.
