Despite commenting on the alleged controversy, Rogan was also keen to stress that Fury deserved to be praised for the way he responded to being knocked down.
"There’s maybe one or two other humans that have ever lived that can punch as hard as [Wilder]. He’s without a doubt one of the hardest punchers of all time.
"He’s a murderous puncher, but the level of skill was so evident,” he said.
“The difference is Tyson Fury is a masterful boxer, he’s masterful. His strategy was amazing.
"Just stay glued to Deontay, wear on him, hang on him, make him work, and just drag him deeper and deeper into these f****** horrible waters filled with crocodiles.
"That’s what he did, and almost got knocked out doing it. That’s how dangerous Wilder is."
According to reports, the Nevada State Athletic Commission has suspended Wilder until April 8, unless he is cleared by a doctor beforehand.
Fury, who knocked Wilder down three times on his way to victory in their trilogy fight, has been handed the standard 45-day suspension following his victory which was his first-ever world heavyweight title defence.
