‘Met him at Kapil Sharma’s show… inspiring’: Zomato’s Deepinder Goyal sponsors boxer Neeraj Goyat

In an exciting announcement today on social media platform Goyat will compete in the highly anticipated boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, which will be streamed on Netflix.

Goyal expressed his admiration for Goyat’s journey and described it as inspiring after their recent meeting on the popular television show The Kapil Sharma Show. In his post, Goyal stated, “Zomato is excited to support @GoyatNeeraj as he makes India proud on a global stage. We’re thrilled to be a small part of Neeraj’s journey, as his official sponsors. Carrots for him. Save it, brother.”

The sponsorship has generated renewed interest in Goyat, who is recognized as a pioneer in Indian boxing for his resilience and remarkable achievements in the sport.

Who is Neeraj Goyat?

Hailing from Karnal, Haryana, Neeraj Goyat started his boxing career in 2006 and shot to fame in 2008 by winning gold at the Youth National Tournament. He created history as the first Indian boxer to top the WBC World Rankings for three consecutive years from 2015 to 2017, following his wins in three WBC Asia titles.

Goyat suffered a significant setback in 2019 when a serious car accident forced him to withdraw from a high-profile bout against British boxer Amir Khan. However, he made a remarkable comeback and attracted international attention by publicly challenging social media influencer and boxer Jake Paul, garnering millions of views and comments.

In addition to his boxing career, Goyat has appeared in music videos and trained Bollywood stars such as Farhan Akhtar for boxing scenes in films.

The highly anticipated match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson is scheduled for Friday, November 15. Originally scheduled for July 20, the fight was postponed due to a medical issue that affected Tyson’s training.
