Former UFC star Darren Till has disagreed with Joe Rogan's latest take on Jake Paul, which has seen podcast host praise the former Disney channel star.

Paul is currently preparing for the biggest bout of his boxing career so far when he faces Mike Tyson later this year. The pair are set to headline the event, which will be livestreamed on Netflix, with the action set to go down on Nov. 15 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Ahead of his clash against 'Iron Mike', Rogan recently weighed in on Paul's boxing career so far. Shared by Boxing Kingdom on X, the UFC color commentator stated that 'The Problem Child' is showing signs he's got what it takes in the sport. He said:

"He’s a great boxing talent. He’s only 27 and is showing serious improvements. He’s working hard & can punch."

Darren Till, however, doesn't agree with Joe Rogan's take, instead stating that Jake Paul is "terrible" at boxing. According to 'The Gorilla', Paul has poor footwork, a bad gas tank and heavily relies on his right hand.

Responding to the above tweet, the former UFC welterweight title challenger said:

"Disagree massively. He [Paul] literally doesn't know how to move. He throws a right hand from China and back. He's very slow. He gasses out. I mean...He's actually really terrible."

Joe Rogan praises Paddy Pimblett for UFC 304 performance

A couple of months on from Paddy Pimblett's stunning victory over Bobby Green, Joe Rogan recently voiced his praise for the British MMA star.

'The Baddy' faced 'King' in what many believed would be the toughest fight of his career so far. The Liverpudlian rose to the occasion, however, and dominated Green in the stand-up before submitting the American in the first round with a triangle choke after he shot for a takedown.

Speaking to Belal Muhammad on episode #162 of the JRE MMA Show, Rogan weighed in on the now No.15-ranked lightweight, saying:

"Then Paddy fights Bobby Green and he looks like a world beater. He looks like a world beater. The strategy was perfect - stay on the outside, f**k his legs up. And then, you realize how big Paddy is, too. Paddy's a big '55er... 'King', he's a tall dude, too, for the division, but you realize how big Paddy is and people think of Paddy only as a grappler, but his kicks were on point."
