YouTubers turned boxers Jake Paul and KSI have a long-running feud, and earlier this Friday, the Brit took on IShowSpeed in a sparring session at the same time as Jake Paul vs. Andre August featured on DAZN. However, 'The Problem Child' is indifferent to his rival's antics.

If the sparring session was the English YouTuber's way of trying to snatch interest away from the younger Paul brother's fight, one can safely assume that the ploy has largely failed. The 26-year-old closed out his fight fast with a spectacular first-round knockout.

During the post-fight press conference for the event, the 26-year-old was quizzed on whether he thinks KSI vs. IShowSpeed was now officially dead. Surprisingly, Paul didn't try to trash-talk the Brit but said:

"I don't know. I don't care, it's just two different things. He is 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."
