UFC commentator Joe Rogan has warned Jake Paul about his future in the world of professional boxing.
Earlier this month, Jake Paul made the decision to enter the ring and take on none other than Anthony Joshua – the former world heavyweight champion. Although he was able to avoid AJ for part of the fight, mainly via takedowns and running away, ‘The Problem Child’ was ultimately caught with an absolutely brutal shot that not only led to his defeat, but also broke his jaw.
Since then, fans and pundits have been wondering what exactly will happen for Jake Paul. He’s certainly taken his boxing career further than anyone could have expected just a few years ago, but will there still be the same interest after losing so emphatically to Joshua?
In a recent episode of his podcast, Joe Rogan gave his thoughts on the possible next step for Jake Paul in his career.
Joe Rogan gives advice to Jake Paul
“It’s a crazy world,” Rogan said. “The thing is, I hope he realizes that he’s doing great right now, and he’s only, what, 28? … He’s young and he’s probably made $300 million in his boxing career. He’s 28 years old, 29 next month. Don’t do this for so long because there’s a price you pay that isn’t worth it.”
“It’s not worth it. And that price is depression, a deep depression, a serious imbalance in the brain that will lead you to addiction. It leads so many people to impulsive behavior, so many people become gambling addicts, drug addicts and alcoholics after their fighting careers. You can only take so much.”

Paul has the potential to go on and do some more interesting things in boxing, but Rogan certainly has a point – even if he has made it quite dramatic.
Hopefully Jake will at least go there with someone closer to him for his next fight, if only to avoid a similar outcome.
