Indian boxer Neeraj Goyat defeats Whindersson Nunes ahead of the Paul vs. Tyson fight

Neeraj Goyat defeated Whindersson Nunes in a super-middleweight bout on the undercard of the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson Netflix event on Friday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The first Indian boxer to make the WBC rankings won his fight by unanimous decision, with a wide margin of 60-54 in the six-round non-title fight.

It was one-way traffic from the Indian boxer, who dominated the entire fight. The 33-year-old from India has won four of his last five matches. His last win came in a second round TKO victory over Phakorn Aiemyod last year.

His opponent, Nunes, recently made his professional debut, losing to Nathan Bartling on the Misfits Boxing Prime Card. The Brazilian only featured in practice matches.

Their fight was the last of five undercard fights before the big showdown between Tyson and Paul.
