The first international signee of Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions will debut on the undercard of Paul's July 20 showdown with Mike Tyson, officials confirmed with ESPN on Tuesday.
Goyat, 32, is the first Indian fighter to make the WBC world rankings and is recognized as one of the best boxers in the country. He utilized a social media campaign earlier this year in an effort to land a fight with Paul but instead found himself signing with Paul's promotion. Goyat has over a million followers on Instagram and has appeared on Indian television and Bollywood movies.
"I couldn't be more excited to make my MVP debut on what promises to be the biggest boxing event in history," Goyat said."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.
Goyat vs. Nunes joins a loaded undercard that features Ashton"H20" Sylve vs. Floyd"Kid Austin" Schofield, MMA fighter Darren Till making his professional boxing debut against former middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and the highly anticipated rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano for Taylor's undisputed women's super lightweight championship. The event takes place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas and will be streamed live on Netflix.
