However, Radio Rahim did not believe Paul was ready to face Canelo Alvarez in the boxing ring just yet. Jake Paul has been lobbying for a boxing match with Canelo, and Rogan has chimed in on the likelihood of this occurring.
Rogan said,” It’s not like Canelo’s like waiting to fight him. Canelo’s got a lot of things he’s doing, he doesn’t have any time to be waiting around on Jake Paul. He’s not really gonna fight him, he’s gotta fight Golovkin in the rematch if he beats Bivol.”
“He’s got things lined up,” added Rogan.
In his podcast episode, the UFC color commentator praised the Youtuber turned boxer. He hailed Jake Paul’s knockout victory against former UFC champion Tyron Woodley as “legit as f*ck” and suggested Paul “can crack.”
Rogan also stated that Jake Paul has “hustle” and was impressed when he learned that Paul has now expanded out into fighting promotion.
