Paul defeated August in the first round of their fight and was later asked about KSI streaming a sparring match at the same time as his bout. The American said he was unsure if he will ever fight KSI and accused his arch-rival of “chasing views”.
He said: “I don’t know. I don’t care! It’s just two different things, right. He’s chasing views as a 30-year-old man, and I’m chasing legacy and belts. All kudos to him, I hope his wildest dreams come true.”
KSI claimed that he did not even know Paul was fighting at the same time. He told Fred Talks Fighting: “I mean, am I shocked [about Paul’s win]? 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 the same time as me.”
