"Not one, two, or three rounds, maybe four or five rounds.
"I'm going to just repeatedly beat the living s out of him and laughing whilst I'm doing it."
KSI beat Joe Weller, 26, in his first fight before drawing and beating Paul, 27, afterwards while making his professional debut.

KSI said: "I'm a dog, I'm always fighting and moving forward. There's never a dull moment when I fight, compare me to Jake Paul.
"Look at Jake Paul's last fight against Tyron Woodley. If you actually watch the whole thing, it was boring as f***.
"Yes, he got the spectacular knockout but before that, it was so actually trash. He got a dub but it was an 'L' of a performance.
