KSI defeated Logan Paul in Los Angeles on Saturday night to defend his YouTube championship belt – and it would appear the Brit has a long list of rivals ready to step into the ring with him next.
YouTube star KSI defeated Paul by split decision at the Staples Center, after their first contest in Manchester ended in a controversial majority draw.
And Eddie Hearn, who promoted the rematch between KSI and Paul, has said that he has received “five or six” calls from celebrities who want to fight KSI.
“I've had five or six calls this week from probably the highest-profile people in their fields; from sport, music and acting,” Hearn commented after the fight.
"They said, 'don't say anything, but could I fight the winner?'
"So now we have to look at that and by the way two or three of them can really fight."
But Hearn declined to elaborate on the phone calls. When asked if he could give a hint as to KSI’s next opponent, he said “No, I promised I wouldn't.
"For now it was an experiment that went really well and I really enjoyed it.
"People criticised it. Then people started getting on board. Then people started benefiting from the numbers and the audience. Next thing, everybody loves it.
"We'll digest, we'll review it as always, we'll plan a strategy.
"Anything that grows this sport that we love I am all up for while making sure we always respect the code."
But who could KSI fight next? Here, we look at the options.
