Jake Paul is now 7-1 in his boxing career after defeating former UFC star Nate Diaz. Following the win, ‘The Problem Child’ mentioned his plans for the future in combat sports. In addition to showing an interest in an MMA fight, Paul also hinted at a potential rematch with a former rival. Meanwhile, Joe Rogan weighed in on the YouTuber’s plans.

Rogan, Brendan Schaub, Eddie Bravo, and Bryan Callen sat down for a ‘Fight Companion’ episode and tuned in to watch Nate Diaz’s boxing debut. They started a discussion when Jake Paul mentioned in his post-fight interview that he might run it back with Tommy Fury again for a second time. Additionally, Joe Rogan gave his take as to why ‘The Problem’ wants to fight the British boxer again.

Joe Rogan talks about the real problem with Jake Paul

Tommy Fury was Jake Paul’s first opponent, who actually had a background in boxing, handing him his first and only loss so far. Despite the loss, Joe Rogan believes that the fight was an impressive one. He said, “I thought he [Tommy Fury] won the fight [against Jake Paul]. It was a good fight, a good solid fight.”

Following the win, Jake Paul mentioned that he was looking for a rematch against Tommy Fury next. However, Brendan Schaub laid down a few opponents, which can become some big-money fights. He stated, “The moneymakers [are] Logan vs. Jake and then Jake vs. KSI.” Moreover, he saw no point in Paul fighting Tommy Fury.

Schaub added, “I don’t know why he wants to fight Tommy. Who gives a f***, bro?” However, Joe Rogan knew why the YouTube star wanted that fight, and that was to feed his ego. The 55-year-old added, “I think he just wants to get it back for his ego, I guess.”
Besides, Tommy Fury also wants the rematch as well.

Tommy Fury is also interested in fighting ‘The Problem Child’ again

The younger Fury brother defeated Jake Paul with a split decision victory earlier in February. During the post-fight press conference, he praised the guts of the YouTuber and also mentioned that he would get a stoppage win if they ever fight again. He said, “A 100 percent [on a rematch]… having been in the ring with Jake once, I’m pretty sure I can get the stoppage next time.”

It is important to note that the fight was Tommy Fury’s first main event fight in his career. It had the whole world watching, and he has no problems with another fight, which would help him garner a lot of attention and showcase his boxing prowess to the entire world.

After his first loss, Jake Paul reverted to fighting MMA stars. He hasn’t really tested himself against another professional boxer. So it will be interesting to see how he fares the second time against a real boxer. Moreover, he couldn’t even knock Nate Diaz out. Meanwhile, Tommy Fury is gearing up to fight Paul’s arch-nemesis KSI later this year.
