Joe Rogan Calls to “Cut the Bullsh*t” by Having Only “One Boxing Champion” While Talking About Fury, Joshua, Usyk, and the State of Heavyweight Division

The Podcaster, Joe Rogan, is one of the most respected voices in combat sports. Meanwhile, Rogan revealed that he believes that the sport of boxing should have only one championship belt.

Rogan was hosting his ‘Joe Rogan Experience’ podcast. Broadcaster and journalist, Radio Rahim, was the guest for the episode.

The duo was talking about the situation of Tyson Fury‘s championship belts once he retires. Moreover, Rahim mentioned that Fury’s belts will be scattered once he retires. Rogan replied to Rahim’s statement, saying, “No, he retires then Usyk and Joshua rematch for the titles. It’s simple math.”

However, Rahim corrects him by mentioning that it wouldn’t be possible in boxing due to the presence of multiple governing bodies.

In response, Rogan answered, “Fuck that, Ring magazine. Call Ring magazine up, guys let’s cut the bullshit. I’m only fighting for your title, fuck all these people.”

He further added that he doesn’t understand the concept behind the multiple governing bodies. Rogan said, “I feel like there should be one boxing champion in each weight class. This whole governing body thing doesn’t make any sense.”

Hearing his response, Rahim tries to clarify which belt he considers legitimate. Rogan responds by saying, “Ring magazine. Fuck everybody else. They’re historians of the sport. They’re people that have followed the sport to a T. They don’t make a living just off of sanctioning people. But the ring magazine is a cherished belt.”

Rahim mentions that would work only if boxers don’t fight for the other governing bodies. However, Rogan hilariously hits back at him by saying, “That’s how we get killed.”

Joe Rogan has been an active proponent of combat sports crossovers.

In the same episode with Rahim, Rogan expressed his desire to see Ngannou face Fury. He said, “I want the world to see what it’s like when the best motherf**ker on earth at his given thing gets to express himself with someone who’s trying it out.”

However, he revealed that Ngannou would win only if he resorts to dirty boxing.
