The reality fitness show Battleground is once again grabbing headlines. After Asim Riaz’s heated clashes with Abhishek Malhan and Rubina Dilaik that led to his exit, the show has now welcomed a new personality. Celebrated boxer and mixed martial artist Neeraj Goyat has joined the show, stepping in as a guest mentor. His arrival promises to shake up the competition and add a fresh wave of intensity to the ongoing battles.
Neeraj has taken charge of the UP Dabangs team. Known for his relentless attitude in the boxing ring and his larger-than-life personality, he seems set to bring both discipline and drama to the show. The recent promo, now viral across social media, gave viewers a glimpse of what’s to come.
The clip begins with Neeraj’s grand entry onto the Battleground stage. Rubina Dilaik wastes no time and immediately questions him about a boxing challenge he had supposedly thrown at Abhishek Malhan. Abhishek, not one to stay quiet, jumps in to clarify that he had also challenged Rajat Dalal. The conversation takes a sharp turn when Rajat enters the frame with a bold claim. “Main toh thappad thappad mein behosh kar deta hoon mujhe boxing ki zarurat he nahi hai,” he declares.
This provocation doesn’t sit well with Neeraj. Tensions escalate quickly as the two trade verbal jabs. Rajat pushes the argument further, taunting Neeraj by saying he could easily send him packing. Neeraj, unfazed, hits back with a sharp warning, threatening to make Rajat “lick the floor with his tongue.” Their exchange reaches a boiling point. Both men lose control, raising their hands and getting physically aggressive.
In a tense moment, Abhishek Malhan rushes to intervene. He positions himself between the two, trying to prevent the situation from turning uglier. The chaos captures the unpredictable nature of Battleground, where tempers flare just as fiercely as the competitions themselves.
Speaking about his entry into the show, Neeraj Goyat shared his excitement and clear intentions. “I’ve fought through the toughest battles, both in the ring and in life,” he said. He emphasized that his spirit, built through years of discipline, would now fuel his team on Battleground. Neeraj made it clear that for him, fitness isn’t a hobby but a lifestyle. Every day, he pushes his limits to be better and expects the same hunger from his team members.
Neeraj explained his mentoring philosophy. He stressed the importance of training hard, thinking strategically, and fighting with complete dedication. He added, “Under my mentorship, UP Dabangs will rise, fight smart, and go all in. I’m here to make sure we crush every challenge, because that’s what winners do.”
His arrival has undoubtedly raised the stakes on the show. Known for his fearlessness and competitive edge, Neeraj’s presence promises fierce training sessions, tough tasks, and intense confrontations. The incident with Rajat Dalal might be the first of many explosive moments with him on board.
Fans are eagerly waiting to see how the dynamics shift within UP Dabangs and the larger Battleground arena.
