I met Neeraj at @KapilSharmaK9's show recently. His story and attitude are inspiring.

Goyat, a WBC Asia titleholder, is gearing up for a high-profile fight against Brazilian fighter Whindersson Nunes. This much-anticipated bout will be part of the Paul vs. Tyson and Taylor vs. Serrano 2 event, which will be streamed live on Netflix, providing Goyat with global exposure.
Zomato's sponsorship of Goyat marks a strategic move to expand its brand presence beyond food delivery. By associating with a rising sports star, Zomato aims to connect with a wider audience and strengthen its brand image.
This partnership is a testament to the evolving landscape of brand sponsorships, where non-traditional industries are venturing into sports to enhance their visibility and engage with new demographics.
