      He suffered a cut above his left eye following a thunderous right hand from the 35-year-old veteran in the sixth round.
      The humongous hit left Vianello with blood streaming down his face.
      It also opened a deep laceration that was ruled bad enough for the fight to be stopped.
      The referee initially thought the gruesome cut came as a result of an accidental clash of heads.

      But ringside officials reviewed the footage and decided a brutal punch from Rice had in fact caused the cut.
      The fight was then waved off 42 seconds into the seventh round.
      The ringside doctor deemed Vianello unable to continue, giving American boxer Rice the win via TKO.
      It was the first time he had lost in 12 bouts, with 10 wins and a draw to his name prior to Saturday’s clash in New York.

      And he kept on track for a score settling super-fight against Paul at the end of the year.
      But KSI has maintained the bitter bout will not come next and he will instead return in the summer against a different opponent.
      Here, SunSport runs down who could be next on the social media sensation’s road to Paul.
      Joe Fournier
      Fournier, 39, is a millionaire nightclub tycoon-turned unbeaten 9-0 boxer who has tirelessly called out KSI, 29.

      He was ringside in London to watch as Temperrr, 29, was left out for the count and faced off with KSI afterwards.

      Tyron Woodley
      Woodley, 40, crossed over to the boxing ring for his pair of bouts against Paul, 25, which ended in points and KO losses.
      The ex-UFC champion was considered as KSI’s next fight until 2-0 MMA fighter Dillon Danis, 29, was selected, only to pull out.

      KSI has poured cold water over fighting Woodley but the fans have made it clear they would like him to face the American next.

      Slim Albaher
      YouTuber Slim, 28, is now 6-0 as a crossover boxer and beat DJ Tom Zanetti, 33, in a thriller on KSI’s undercard.
      He has also chased a fight against KSI and improved his chances following his co-main event win.
      But KSI could be ready to step outside of fighting fellow influencers and favour a more experienced opponent.

      Salt Papi
      Filipino Salt Papi, 28, has emerged as one of the most talented celebrity fighters, who is now 3-0 with two brutal KOs.
      He knocked out MMA fighter and vlogger Josh Brueckner, 27, at Wembley and received praise from across the boxing world.
      Papi would be a high risk and low reward fight for KSI, but the TikToker called out the internet mega-star.

      Tommy Fury

      And the 2019 Love Islander has made it clear Paul and KSI are the only two social media personalities he would entertain fighting.
      KSI has also opened the door to facing Fury in the past but again it could pose as a risky bout to take due to the experience disparity.

      He was met with some sharp counter left hands from Temperr, who was using the most of his awkward southpaw stance.

      KSI leaped in with a left hook and right hand, which was enough settle it all.
      The crowd erupted as KSI got another win under his belt and moved a step closer to settling the score with his arch enemy.
