‘There's a reality of knees and backs’
In a recent installment of the 'Joe Rogan Experience' (JRE), Rogan was joined by comedian Andrew Schultz. During their conversation, Schultz posed a question to Rogan regarding his potential chances in a boxing match against Paul. Rogan candidly acknowledged Paul's skills as a proficient boxer and recognized that he would probably emerge victorious in such a contest due to Rogan's age and existing knee issues.
Expounding on his response, Rogan elaborated, "Well, he'd would probably f*ck me up. He's a really good boxer. He's a good boxer. When I was a younger man and had good knees, I could be kickboxing him, but I can barely get through a workout without being in pain now. There's a reality of knees and backs." As the discussion unfolded about the anticipated bout between Rogan and Paul, it became increasingly apparent that Rogan is not currently positioned to engage in a debut fight against Paul. He openly acknowledges the reality of his advancing age.
