Goyat will take on the Brazilian Whindersson Nunes in a professional six-round super middleweight fight at 165 lbs. The fight will be the undercard at the Tyson vs Paul that will headline the event scheduled to take place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Karnal-born Goyat currently has a record of 18-4-2 (8 KOs) while his opponent Nunes has a boxing record of 2-2-1 (1 KO).
"I couldn't be more excited to make my MVP debut on what promises to be the biggest boxing event in history,” said Goyat who is a three-time WBC Asia titleholder (2015, 2016, and 2017).
“With millions of fans back home in India watching my every move, I'm not just fighting for myself; I'm fighting to make history and make my country proud. Thank you to Nakisa and the entire MVP team and of course Netflix for this opportunity to shine on the biggest stage imaginable. I hope all Indians around the world tune in for this historic event," the Haryana boxer said.
Goyat was named "Honorary Boxer of the Year" in 2017 by WBC Asia and became the first Indian boxer to make the WBC World Rankings.
Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul, co-founders of Most Valuable Promotions, are also thrilled about Goyat's presence on the MVP brand.
"Neeraj Goyat is arguably the greatest Indian boxer of all time and he will now have the opportunity to represent India as a part of one of the biggest boxing events of all time. Whindersson Nunes is returning to the ring against a much more experienced boxer and it shows what a Brazilian badass he is, ready to take on the challenge – you have to respect that."
