'Where can he go now?' - KSI rules out Jake Paul bout amid speculation after Mike Tyson win
Watch Gib vs. Slim Thurs Nov 28 only on DAZN PPV
Jake Paul may run out of options in the ring if he continues to disappoint fans, warns KSI, with the social media star ruling out the chance of a potential future bout again.
The Problem Child moved to a 11-1 professional record after he defeated Mike Tyson at AT&T Stadium last Friday, scoring a points win over The Baddest Man on the Planet.
The bout, streamed on Netflix, was a low-wattage affair as the 27-year-old Paul tired out the 58-year-old Iron Mike for a comfortable, if uninspiring victory that left fans frustrated.
Audible pockets of the audience booed the final two rounds of the contest in Dallas, Texas, and now KSI admits that he struggles to see what's next for the YouTuber-turned-boxer.
"Where can he go now?" he told The Stomping Ground. "Where can he really go next? He's scammed Netflix, he's scammed DAZN, he's scammed SHOWTIME.
"I don't really know where he's going to go, and I don't think people are going to want to do business with him. I don't think [we'll get in the ring]. It's sad.
"With Jake, he's constantly pushing the body higher and higher. This guy is not a heavyweight. He's not going to fight [Daniel] Dubois. He was gassed out fighting Mike Tyson."
Paul has been called out by several fighters since he beat Tyson, reportedly including IBF heavyweight champion Dubois, and undisputed light-heavyweight king Artur Beterbiev.
KSI meanwhile is yet to schedule another fight since his first career loss to Tommy Fury in October last year, focusing on the rest of a business, sports and music portfolio.
