Goyat started by calling out Jake Paul in Hindi. He switched to English in the second sentence: “I am the man of my word. I am here, I am in your country, I am in your town. I am here in your gym, man.” Jake Paul hit the Indian boxer with a vocal jab by claiming that the Indian boxer didn’t want to fight him.
Neeraj Goyat remained on the front foot and moved on to a different issue. He called out Paul for abusing him in Hindi. He stated, “You are using translate application, right? and abusing in Indian language. Now abuse.” Paul pushed back and asked if he had hurt the feelings of the Indian boxer with his abusive language.
Neeraj reverses the vocal jab by playing down and stating, “Blah blah blah, I don’t understand.” He followed it up by asking Paul to feel his heart to see if he was hurt. He touched his heart and claimed, “It’s called Jigra.” Jigra symbolizes courage in Hindi and Urdu language. Goyat tried to remain on the front foot while the American boxer continued to keep the face-off lighthearted.
