He's ready for his next fight.

Jake Paul is ready to move onto his next fight after returning to winning ways against Andre August.

After his first professional defeat, to Tommy Fury, earlier in the year, he defeated August with a first-round uppercut.

Viddal Riley is the undefeated English cruiserweight champion and is known for training one of Paul’s rivals on social media, KSI.

Speaking at a press conference after his win, he was asked about the possibility of taking on Riley, and he was open to the idea.

"For sure that can happen," Paul said.

"That would be interesting and he has a name, a profile and that's something that excites me for sure.

"As I go down this path I'm going to continue to challenge myself and grow and grow and grow and some of those names start popping into the equation."

"It's surreal. I'm trying to take in the whole entire moment and have fun during this whole entire experience," Paul continued.

"I think this [one-round victory] is the best one. Calling it the whole entire week, not getting hit one time in the fight and just setting him up for that.

"I think self-belief's a weird thing. You set a super high goal for yourself and you see the vision but there's ups and downs throughout getting there. Sometimes you are discouraged, you fall down, you fall flat on your face. You're like: 'What am I doing? Is this all worth is? Is this what I'm supposed to be doing?'

"It's just believing in yourself, and I don't know if I pictured it that good, but I do be manifesting the knockouts."
