Rogan also said who he sees as Beterbiev’s next opponent.
“I really hope that he and Dmitry Bivol can meet in the ring this year,” he added.
The title fight between Beterbiev and Yard, which took place at the Wembley Arena in London, ended with the victory of the 38-year-old Russian by technical knockout in the eighth round after the Briton was knocked down and his corner refused to continue the fight.
Beterbiev’s compatriot Dmitry Bivol, 32, who owns the WBA light heavyweight championship belt, defended his title twice last year in confrontations with the Mexicans Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Gilberto Ramirez, whom he defeated by unanimous decisions.
