Trained by Shannon Briggs, Paul reckons he has been "easily" knocking out professional boxers and called out UFC fighters.

Now, KSI - real name Olajide William Olatunji - has suggested he could try his hand at wrestling.

He told JD Sports: “I would try WWE. I wouldn't mind WWE, I’ve done a bit of wrestling, so you never know.”

KSI, 26, and Paul were amateurs for their first clash but both have officially gone pro for the rematch in Los Angeles on November 9.

Not to be outdone, KSI joined Paul, 24, in suggesting he could now compete with people who have made boxing their profession for years.

He added: "I definitely could fight a few other pro boxers.

“Not at a super-high level, but at a level where I feel comfortable and happy to fight at.”

There is clearly demand to see the two go head to head but KSI has ruled out a trilogy.

He told Sky Sports: “We're two big entertainers just thinking they’re better than the other person.

“I think that’s literally it. With the first fight, I got under his skin. He tried to get under my skin - failed.

“Right now, it’s the same thing - me getting under his skin, and him failing to do the same to me.

“This time, I’m knocking him out and ending it. There’s going to be no trilogy. I’m going to end it here.”
