When Joe Rogan labeled Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight a 'sparring session'

In 2020, Jake Paul transitioned his career from being a YouTuber to a professional boxer. To date, the 'Problem Child' has faced notable opponents, securing victories in the majority of these encounters. Currently, Paul boasts a professional record of 11-1.

In his most recent fight, Paul achieved a dominant victory over Mike Tyson in November 2024. Despite the record-breaking viewership for the event, Joe Rogan expressed skepticism about how the fight unfolded.

In a talk with Peter Berg on his podcast, the UFC commentator discussed the vs. Tyson fight and stated:

"It looked like sparring to me... I wouldn’t wanna speculate ’cause I haven’t talked to anybody about it. But my educated assessment?... Yes, it looked like sparring; it didn’t look like a fight."
