He has been in several sparring sessions and has already traded haymakers with four opponents in five fights. The first three fights were lopsided in his favor. But Tyron Woodley put him in sheer trouble and put damage on him. UFC commentator Joe Rogan praised Paul’s win over Woodley after a tough fight, but also shed light on his mental loss claims.

Rogan said, “He has been saying that he is suffering from slurring words and loss of memory already.”

Jake Paul, however, has envisioned himself becoming a world champion. Now, that will require a lot more from him and will put him before actual boxers. While ‘The Problem Child’ is yet to face a pro-boxer in his resume, he hasn’t experienced the most brutal side of a pro-boxing fight. 2022 seems to be the year, which will finally see Jake Paul take on an elite pugilist.

Joe Rogan has actually a point about Jake Paul’s dangers

24-year-old Paul is taking shots at Canelo Alvarez, Conor McGregor, and every other combat kingpin on his sight. Meanwhile, he is reportedly in talks to return against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., a fight that will be a massive up-gradation for him. Besides, ‘TNT’ Tommy Fury is also being rumored to be his next valid rival. All these factors will ask him to remain in the boxing flow.
