Neeraj Goyat Set to Face Whindersson Nunes in Highly Anticipated Boxing Match

Indian boxer Neeraj Goyat is gearing up for a significant bout against Brazilian YouTuber and comedian Whindersson Nunes. The match is part of the undercard for the highly anticipated event featuring Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul, scheduled to take place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Saturday, November 16.

Neeraj Goyat, born on November 11, 1991, in Begumpur village, Karnal, Haryana, has made a name for himself in the boxing world. He is the first Indian boxer to be ranked by the World Boxing Council (WBC) and has won the WBC Asia title three times from 2015 to 2017. Goyat also holds the distinction of being the first Indian professional boxer to compete in the 2016 Summer Olympics qualifiers in Venezuela, where he earned a bronze medal[2][3].

Goyat’s professional boxing record stands at 18 wins, 4 losses, and 2 draws, with 8 knockout victories. He is known for his impressive comeback wins and his agility in the ring. After a year-long hiatus, Goyat is making his return to boxing following a knockout victory over Phakorn Aiemyod in his last fight.

His opponent, Whindersson Nunes, is a social media influencer from Brazil with limited professional boxing experience, holding a record of 1-2-1. This matchup is expected to be uneven given Goyat’s extensive background in the sport.

The Neeraj Goyat vs Whindersson Nunes match will be live-streamed on Netflix, starting at 6:50 AM IST on November 16. This event marks a significant moment for Indian boxing, with Goyat aiming to make his country proud on a global stage[1][2].
