Two international sensations join a stacked card highlighted by Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson on July 20. India’s Neeraj Goyat faces Whindersson Nunes on a Most Valuable Promotions-produced fight card in Texas’ AT&T Stadium.
Goyat turned pro in 2011 and has an 18-4-2 record with eight wins via knockout. The 2008 Youth National Tournament gold medalist is the first Indian to have made the WBC rankings. In 2014, he beat former WBA featherweight champion Can Xu, his biggest win so far.
Goyat had an eight-fight win streak snapped by Jose Zepeda in March 2023 but recovered last year with a TKO win over Phakorn Aiemyod. He now makes his anticipated Most Valuable Promotions and U.S. debut.
"I couldn't be more excited to make my MVP debut on what promises to be the biggest boxing event in history,” said Goyat. “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."
Nunes is a comedian and influencer who has produced videos on YouTube since 2013. He has 44.6 million subscribers on YouTube and just under 60 million followers on Instagram. The Brazilian has a 2-2-1 record in the ring with his most notable contest was against former two-weight world champion Acelino Freitas, fighting to a draw.
