# Jake Paul Has Heated Confrontation With Boxer Who Was Set To Fight Amir Khan

[Jake Paul faces Ryan Bourland this weekend](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/jake-paul-next-opponent-training-footage/), but that hasn’t stopped the American from allowing his eyes to wander and possibly tee up future bouts for later this year, and has clashed with a man who was previously scheduled to take on Amir Khan.

Neeraj ‘Gangster’ Goyat (18-4-2) defeated eventual WBA featherweight world champion Can Xu (2-0 at the time) back in 2014 and fought a two-division world champion in Jose Zepeda (36-3 at the time) less than twelve months ago.

The 32-year-old appears to be putting himself in the mix for a showdown with ‘The Problem Child’, although the six weight-class and sixty-pound differentials make the proposal seem unlikely.

Nevertheless, Goyat travelled to Puerto Rico to confront Paul, as the American prepares for this weekend’s fight, accusing him of abusing a translation app before getting into a scuffle in a clip shared on [Jake Paul’s Instagram.](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C3z8ObbOvL7/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link)

> Goyat – “Jake Paul, I am a man of my word, I am here! I am in your country, I am in your town!”
>
> Jake Paul – “Come to Daddy, come to Daddy! You came to see me, but you don’t want to fight though.”
>
> Goyat – “You are using translator application and you are abusing in Indian language.”
>
> Paul – “You can’t handle a little s\*\*t talk? Your feelings are hurt? Did I hurt your feelings?”

Before Paul’s attention can potentially divert fully onto Goyat, who was [forced to pull out of a fight with Amir Khan in 2019](https://www.espn.co.uk/boxing/story/_/id/27058031/neeraj-goyat-ruled-amir-khan-bout-accident), he must first take on Bourland on the undercard of Amanda Serrano’s undisputed featherweight title defence against Nina Meinke, live on DAZN.
