Unbelievable! After a two-year hiatus since his last fight against Roy Jones Jr. in 2023, Anthony Pettis is set to make a triumphant return to the ring. But this time, it’s not in MMA that he’ll defend his honor—it’s in professional boxing. On January 23, 2027, he will face Indian boxer Neeraj Goyat in a six-round super lightweight (154 lbs) bout.
A Duel Packed with Emotion and Revenge
This fight is more than just a sporting matchup. For Pettis, it’s a matter of family and honor. In March 2025, his brother Sergio Pettis suffered a points defeat at the hands of Indian boxer Sabari Jaishankar. A humiliation that left a mark, especially since Anthony himself had dominated Roy Jones Jr. in 2023. This bout against Goyat is therefore far more than just a fight—it’s a chance to avenge the family’s honor.
A Flagship Event in India
Organized by Most Valuable Promotions and sanctioned by the Indian Boxing Council, this event will be titled "Goyat vs. Pettis: The Indian Uprising". Three Indian cities are vying to host this clash: Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam, and Chennai. The final venue will be revealed in November, adding an extra layer of suspense to the event.
With so much at stake, this fight promises to be one of the most anticipated of the year. Between family revenge, a return to boxing, and a sporting challenge, Anthony Pettis has everything it takes to make history once again.
