who live streamed a sparring session with fellow YouTuber IShowSpeed on Friday night.<\/p>\n<p>When asked if any hope of a showdown with his online nemesis is now dead, Paul said in his post-fight press conference: &#8216;I don&#8217;t know, I don&#8217;t care.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It&#8217;s just two different things;

who also claimed victory over KSI back in October.<\/p>\n<p>August, who first turned professional back in 2013, represented only the second legitimate boxer the online superstar has faced in his four-year career as a fighter &#8211; and the first since Fury.<\/p>\n<p>Yet in the end, the more-experienced pro&#8217;s greater schooling counted for very little.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With just 40 seconds of the first round remaining, Paul unleashed a vicious right uppercut which sent August tumbling to the canvas flat on his back.<\/p>\n<p>Despite his best efforts to beat the count, the 35-year-old was clearly in no position to continue as he struggled to get back to his feet, meaning the referee waved off the contest to seal Paul&#8217;s eighth pro victory.<\/p>\n<p>He will now begin mapping out his next move in the sport, with a potential shot at redemption against Fury likely to be top of his wish-list.<\/p>\n<p>For now, though, Paul is satisfied with another highlight-reel knockout that he believes was his best one yet.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/16\/05\/79028693-12870949-image-a-49_1702706084657.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Paul felt his brutal knockout of August in Orlando was the best of his boxing career to date<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I think this is the best one,&#8217;
