Joe Rogan recently issued a strong warning to Jake Paul, urging him to cancel his upcoming fight with boxing legend Mike Tyson. The match has drawn considerable attention, with many in the fight world, including Rogan, expressing concern over the apparent mismatch. At 57 years old, Tyson is still in remarkable shape, while Jake Paul, a 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer, appears overly confident despite the significant skill gap.

Jake Paul didn’t take kindly to Rogan’s concerns and lashed out at him, accusing the UFC commentator of underestimating him. Paul, who has been riding high on a series of controversial wins, insisted that he was fully prepared to face Tyson and took offense at Rogan’s doubts. Despite Paul’s bravado, many, including Rogan, feel that Tyson, even at his advanced age, poses a serious threat to Paul’s chances in the ring.

Rogan has never been a fan of Jake Paul’s boxing career, frequently labeling him as a “fraud” and dismissing his accomplishments. The announcement of Paul’s fight with Tyson only solidified Rogan’s belief that Paul was out of his depth. While Paul is known for generating hype and selling pay-per-view (PPV) events, Rogan and other boxing purists argue that the fight is a spectacle that tarnishes the integrity of the sport.

Tyson, despite being retired, still demonstrates incredible power and speed in his training videos, showcasing the skills that made him one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. Paul’s decision to fight Tyson has been met with widespread criticism, with many seeing it as a cash grab rather than a legitimate boxing match.

The fight, initially scheduled for July, was postponed due to health concerns for Tyson, with the new date set for November. In the interim, Paul fought bare-knuckle fighter Mike Perry, securing a victory that did little to sway the opinions of his critics.

As the fight date approaches, the hype continues to build, but the central question remains: is Jake Paul truly ready to face one of the most feared fighters in boxing history, or is this another ploy to keep his name in the headlines?
