JAKE PAUL is already looking to line up his next fight after brutally knocking out Andre August.
The YouTuber-turned boxer closed the show inside the first round with a massive right uppercut.
And he was immediately probed on when his next fight could be.
To which Paul said: “We’ve got an announcement coming next week.”
So here, SunSport takes a look at who could be next for the self-proclaimed Problem Child.
Tommy Fury
Fury, 24, so far remains the only man to have beaten Paul, 26, thanks to his split-decision win in Saudi Arabia in February.

And it sets the pair up perfectly for a rematch, something Paul has always insisted he will deliver.
He said before his fight with August: “It’s going to happen. I’m coming for you Tommy. I’m going to knock him out.”
KSI
It’s the mother of all grudge matches in the YouTube boxing world but so far it has failed to materialise.
In the lead up to Paul’s win over August their opposing teams were going back and forth over terms for the grudge bout.

So far it looks as though an agreed upon weight is holding up an agreement but there is still a score to be settled.
Viddal Riley
Riley, 26, shot to fame as the coach to KSI and AnEsonGib, who Paul knocked out in his pro debut.
But he is also a former amateur champion and current 10-0 English cruiserweight title holder.
And with Paul open to facing established boxers, when asked about Riley he said: “For sure that can happen, it would be interesting.”
Idris Virgo
Virgo – a former Love Islander – had 12 pro wins before he took the influencer boxing route with KSI’s Misfits Boxing.
His popularity also increased after becoming a training partner of KSI’s.
So if Paul wants to fight another boxer, who has a profile and connection to KSI, a good wildcard option would be Virgo, 30.
The 7-1 mystery man
August, 35, was not actually due to fight Paul and only filled in when their initial opponent suffered US visa issues.

Paul’s business partner Nakisa Bidarian said in October: “Unfortunately, the opponent, which was a 7-1 boxer, has not been able to obtain a visa to come to the US.”
With an announcement already planned, could the initial opponent be lined up for Paul’s next fight.
