In a bizarre moment during the warm-up to the Mike Tyson and Jake Paul fight, boxer Neeraj Goyat left fans stunned with an unsportsmanlike act against opponent Whindersson Nunes. The Indian-born fighter, favored to win the welterweight bout, appeared to mock his Brazilian counterpart by “dry humping” him after Nunes turned his back during the match. The incident quickly went viral, with viewers expressing outrage on social media.
Fans on X (formerly Twitter) slammed Goyat for the move, calling it disrespectful to both Nunes and the sport of boxing. One user wrote, “What a joke for the sport,” while another added, “He should be canceled.” Despite the backlash, Goyat secured victory via unanimous decision, but his antics overshadowed his performance in the ring.
The shocking display unfolded during a match already primed for global attention as part of the high-profile Netflix event. While most fighters seized the opportunity to showcase their skills, Goyat’s behavior sparked calls for disciplinary action and highlighted a growing conversation about sportsmanship in boxing.
Although Goyat walked away with the win, the crowd’s reaction and the public’s criticism made it clear that his behavior crossed a line, leaving a bitter note amid an otherwise historic boxing event.
