Rogan Urges Jake Paul to Stop After Joshua KO, as 33 Million Watch and Camp Challenges 'Fix' Claims

Joe Rogan’s call for an early exit highlights rising concern over the damage Paul sustained in the Netflix mega‑bout.

Overview

  • Anthony Joshua stopped Jake Paul in the sixth round in Miami, with officials halting the fight after a right hand that left Paul with a double broken jaw requiring surgery with screws and a titanium plate.
  • On his podcast, Joe Rogan warned that continued boxing could lead to depression and long‑term brain injury, describing the knockout blow as the equivalent of multiple concussive shots.
  • Paul said a short three‑week camp and skipped altitude training undermined his stamina, yet he plans to keep boxing in 2026 and has teased interest in Francis Ngannou while also eyeing a return to his natural weight class.
  • Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions reported an estimated 33 million global Live+1 average‑minute viewers for the main event, placing the show atop Netflix charts in numerous countries.
  • With online posts questioning the bout’s legitimacy, Paul’s business partner Nakisa Bidarian said lawyers are pursuing legal action over false ‘fixed fight’ claims that both camps deny.
