Joe Rogan warns Jake Paul has made a serious mistake by adding one clause into Anthony Joshua fight contract

The YouTuber-turned-boxer is set to go head-to-head with former heavyweight world champion Joshua in Miami, Florida, next month

Joe Rogan has warned that Jake Paul may have made a serious mistake by adding one clause into his fight contract against Anthony Joshua.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer is set to go head-to-head with former heavyweight world champion Joshua in Miami, Florida, next month.

This comes after Paul AKA The Problem Child faced off against former boxing champion Mike Tyson in November 2024.

The highly anticipated fight at the AT&T stadium in Arlington, Texas, was watched in person by 80,000 fans, with 65 million more streaming the action live on Netflix.

While Paul failed to knock out Tyson, he still came out on top and the pair reportedly pocketed $20 million each.

All three judges scored the fight for Paul, 80-72, 79-73 and 79-73.

The 27-year-old landed 78 punches from 278 thrown (28%), while Tyson landed just 18 punches from 97 thrown, according to Netflix.

Since then, there had been much speculation over who Paul would face next.

Speaking to the New York Post after his win against Tyson, Paul said: “There’s a lot of names. I think Gervonta [Davis], Canelo, Tommy Fury, KSI, I want Anthony Joshua.

“The list goes on and on and on and then my main goal is to become world champion and we’ll see who that is and what point in time I make that happen.”

In a tweet by Matchroom Boxing, it said: “Be careful what you wish for. Anthony Joshua fights Jake Paul, Friday 19 December in Miami.”

However, there is one part of the contract which podcaster Rogan thinks the YouTuber has made a mistake on after a weight limit was put on the former champion.

Rogan believes that this will just push Joshua to be in even better shape before he enters the ring.

He said: “Listen, kids, it ain’t gonna matter, there’s not a chance that Anthony Joshua is not going to just lose the weight beforehand.

“He’s not gonna come in drained. What he’s going to do is just do extra cardio, and that’s just gonna make him more dangerous. He’s gonna be terrifying.”

The podcast host went on to say: “He’s gonna be very angry that Jake Paul wants to fight him. Very upset that this YouTuber…

“That right hand, if it hits you, you are f***ed!

“This is a giant, Olympic gold medalist heavyweight… one-punch nuclear power.

“He’s a specialist at putting knuckles through your f***ed brain, and that’s what he’s gonna try to do to Jake Paul.”
