Boxer imitates sex act on opponent in Netflix fight on Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson card – The Mirror US
Neeraj Goyat was involved in a bizarre incident as he seemingly imitated a sex act on opponent Whindersson Nunes during their fight on the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson undercard.
Indian boxer Goyat, who has an 18-4-2 professional record, was facing Brazilian social media star Nunes, who has recently turned to professional boxing after having success on the YouTube boxing scene. The pair both boast social media followings in the millions, making it a fascinating fight to open the portion of the card being streamed live on Netflix to its 282 million subscribers.
But while Nunes might be a bigger name on social media, he was clearly a class below seasoned boxer Goyat, who was on top throughout the fight. However, the scrappy and ugly affair reached an unusual flashpoint in round three.
After Nunes turned his back during an exchange, Goyat moved behind him and walked him into the corner. Once there, he appeared to hip thrust into his opponent's rear before turning around to continue the fight.
In the end, Goyat was unable to get a stoppage against the brave Brazilian. However, he comfortably won on points, with all three judges scoring in his favor (59-55, 60-54, 60-54).
The fight came after Bruce Carrington, Lucas Bahdi and Shadasia Green had all claimed wins on the preliminary portion of the card before Netflix coverage started. The first four fights of the night all went the distance, with a WBC welterweight championship clash the next bout featuring Mario Barrios defending his belt for the first time against Abel Ramos.
The co-main event between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano has generated huge interest after their classic showdown at Madison Square Garden two years ago. And a crowd of 75,000 was expected in the arena by the time of Paul and Tyson's bout.
