Joe Rogan has delivered a serious warning to Jake Paul following his loss to Anthony Joshua at the Kaseya Center in Miami last weekend.
The 28-year-old American, who has moved from YouTube fame to the realm of professional boxing, was clearly outperformed during the match before being knocked down by a powerful right hand in the sixth round.
Officials promptly stopped the fight, declaring Joshua the winner by technical knockout.

The UFC commentator, on the other hand, provided some sobering counsel during his podcast.
