A dramatic confrontation erupted between Indian boxer Neeraj Goyat and US rapper-turned-boxer Anthony Taylor at the Misfits Boxing event in Dubai. Goyat emerged victorious in the bout, winning a unanimous decision from the judges. However, tensions simmered as Taylor approached Goyat in the backstage area, offering a handshake, which the Indian boxer refused. The situation escalated when Taylor tossed a water bottle in Goyat's direction. The two fighters exchanged heated words, with their teams watching anxiously. Security personnel intervened to prevent a physical altercation, escorting Taylor out of the area. Goyat, who has a professional record of 19 wins, 4 losses, and 2 draws, had earlier been visibly upset with Taylor's comments before the bout. Taylor, known for his provocative persona, had spoken to the broadcaster, prompting Goyat to warn him against making derogatory remarks about his country. The incident is not the first time the two fighters have clashed, with Goyat earlier telling Taylor, 'India is your father.' The security ensured that the situation did not escalate further, maintaining peace at the event.
