Jake Paul aims brutal dig at KSI after stunning victory over Andre August
Jake Paul has taken aim at KSI after his stunning first-round victory against Andre August.
After four months away from the ring, YouTuber turned boxer Paul made lightwork of August as he brutally knocked out his opponent in the first round.
August, who is a professional boxer, was left on the canvas after taking Paul’s uppercut.
Reacting to the fight, Paul said during the press conference: “I think this is the best one. Just because it was the first round, I was calling it the whole entire week.

“Not getting hit one time in the fight and just setting him up for that. He kept on ducking low and I was like ‘ok, I'm gonna throw the uppercut but I've got to make sure he keeps on ducking low.’ I assessed him, set him up for it and finished it - threw that thing hard.”
Paul also took aim at fellow YouTuber turned boxer, KSI, who live-streamed a sparring session with IShowSpeed on Friday night.
Speaking about the Brit, Paul claimed he is too busy chasing views.
When asked if a fight with KSI will ever happen, Paul replied: “I don't know, I don't care. It's just two different things; he's chasing views as a 30-year-old man, and I'm chasing legacy and belts.
“All kudos to him, I hope he makes his wildest dreams come true!”
“He’s chasing views as a 30-year-old man and I’m chasing legacy and belts.”

The American also claimed that there would be an announcement on his next fight very soon.
He said: “We've got an announcement coming next week.”
KSI also reacted to Paul’s win, he told Fred Talks Fighting: “I mean, am I shocked? No. We all know that Jake just look for super easy fights and he fought a cab driver this time.
“It is what it is. I don't really care about him, I didn't even know he was fighting at the same time as me.”
