Social media star Jake Paul is open to the possibility of having a future fight with Viddal Riley.

Last Friday, Paul (8-1, 5 KOs) returned to the ring and knocked out professional boxer Andre August in the first round with a vicious uppercut.

Riley (10-0, 6 KOs), who holds the English title and competes at cruiserweight, helped train KSI for his boxing matches. He also has a strong social media presence. 

"For sure that can happen," Paul said of fighting Riley to Sky Sports. "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.

Paul started the year by suffering his first career defeat, when he dropped an eight round split decision to unbeaten Tommy Fury, who is the younger brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.

He bounced back from defeat in August, with a ten round unanimous decision over MMA icon Nate Diaz.

But, a quick knockout over a pro boxer, with a 10-1 record, was the confidence booster that Paul needed.

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

"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."
