YouTube star Jake Paul has called out former UFC champion Conor McGregor after knocking out for NBA guard Nate Robinson in the second round of their bout at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday (NZ time).
Paul dropped Robinson once in the first round, before knocking him to the canvas early in the second round with a brutal right hook on the Mike Tyson v Roy Jones Jr undercard.
The referee was quick to stop the fight, while medical staff also came into the ring to treat Robinson - a three-time NBA slam dunk contest champion - who was unable to get back to his feet for the official decision.
After the bout, Paul told BT Sport Box Office that McGregor is somebody he would love to fight.
McGregor has had one professional boxing bout, which ended in defeat against Floyd Mayweather in 2018, while this was Paul's second fight, having beaten fellow YouTuber Ali Eson Gib in January.
"I'm taking this seriously," says Paul. "There's a long list of opponents that I want. Conor McGregor, Dillon Danis, I'm going to knock them both out.
"There's my brother [Logan], there's KSI on the line, Austin McBroom.
"I want to be in this sport for a long time. I'm in love with it, so why not."
The 23-year-old then tagged McGregor's agent in a tweet which said: "I mean, what fighter with this big of a platform is calling out McGregor? It's going to happen, you will all see."
The fight has been met with some controversy due to Robinson's inexperience inside the ring.
The 36-year-old, who last played for the New Orleans Pelicans in the 2015/16 NBA season had never fought in the ring before the fight and the way he got beat
While many NBA players tweeted their messages of support for Robinson, seven-weight world champion Amanda Serrano was less forgiving.
The Puerto Rican said somebody is going to get "really hurt" if they keep allowing inexperienced people to fight on these big stages.
"Boxing is a serious game," she says. "Nothing to be doing for YouTube likes.
"Most amateurs turning pro fight four rounds, these guys are debuting in a six-rounder. Someone's going to get really hurt one day. Not cool at all."
Serrano wasn't the only one to criticise the fight with two-time Olympic champion Claressa Shields also questioning why Robinson was in the ring.
Hours after the fight, Robinson said he was doing ok, and he was thankful for the chance to step into the ring.
"Thank you everyone for all of the well wishes, I’m OK.
"I appreciate the opportunity as well as everyone that has backed me during the fight.
"To my coaches, trainers, fans, and teammates, I appreciate all of the time and support you guys put in with me.
"It wasn't the outcome that we wanted, but I’m thankful for the opportunity to fight on the biggest stage that there has been."
