The public is being sternly reminded by the British YouTuber that influencer boxing is far different from "real" boxing by his remarks made after the match.
When will Jake Paul vs KSI take place?
KSI has numerous enterprises, including the well-known energy drink PRIME, so he is well-poised to keep fighting.
He may be friends and have a business relationship with Logan Paul, Jake Paul's older brother, but he has a rivalry going with Jake.
Paul constantly chastised the London native for how he handled defeat and made fun of KSI's decision to challenge the fight's outcome.
Over the years, there have been more and more rumors about KSI and Jake Paul fighting, so it seems inevitable that they will ultimately square off.
Jake Paul tweeted, "I took my loss like a man from the scorecard read and showed the youth how to learn from it and come back to take a W. This 30 year old man crying for an appeal."
