Payne made a guest appearance on Impaulsive's podcast. He said, "If there is any chance for me jump in the rings and feel gladiatorial during the 21st Century, I am in."

"Boxing is a great sport. It would be a great challenge for me and I would love to see the journey.

He said, "Yeah, I would fight KSI, he would need to come down a couple of weight slots. He would be my opponent. He is too good for me.

"I will fight for whatever you want. However, I doubt Justin Bieber would do that.

"For the same reasons I wouldn't fight Trippie redd, I don’t think he’s on my level." If he wanted to, I would.

Bieber, the pop superstar, has been practicing his skills to prepare for his role in a film about Dmitriy Salaita, formerly a fighter who became promoting champion.

Gregory Allen Howard, screenwriter, says the Canadian has some good hands.

According to him, the Las Vegas Insider said that Justin Bieber has shown the ability and talent to transform from his entertainment background into boxing. He could be the next Jake Paul.

"I saw Justin sparring and he has skills. He's not the champion of middleweight in the world, but I don't think he is.

"It is difficult to act like a boxer in a boxing movie. Justin Bieber was apparently taking lessons. He was actually quite credible.

"There is a short clip of him on YouTube. He is very credible as a boxer.
