Jake Paul appears to be disinterested in further pursuing a future clash with bitter rival KSI.

The pair have been long-time enemies and, both being social media stars turned boxers, it seemed inevitable that they would fight one day, especially with KSI having previously beaten Jake's older brother Logan Paul.

And yet, to this day, that fight has not been made and it doesn't look like happening any time soon.

On Friday night, Jake continued his ambitious journey to becoming a world champion by fighting professional boxer Andre August, who was 10-1 prior to their fight.

Jake scored a stunning knockout in the first round after landing a brutal uppercut, as he is now 8-1 as a pro boxer.

Meanwhile, KSI, who is taking a break from competitive boxing after losing a controversial points decision to Tommy Fury last time out, decided to live-stream a spar against fellow social media star Speed at the same time as Jake's fight against August.

It was a one-sided affair, as KSI pummelled Speed and knocked him down on a number of occasions, before the session was stopped early.

When asked at his post-fight press conference about KSI and Speed sparring, as well as about a potential future fight with the British YouTuber, Jake gave a sarcastic response.

"I don't know, I don't care," Jake said.

"It's just two different things right, he's 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."

As for what's next for Jake if it's not KSI, he has promised to continue fighting boxing prospects.

This is all with the vision of becoming world champion one day and he has even expressed the aspiration of taking on current undisputed super middleweight world champion Canelo.
