Payne has also spoken about fighting the likes of KSI and even Justin Bieber in the past.
The One Directioner is a big boxing fan and said he would jump at the chance to enter the ring.
He said: “If there is a chance for me to jump in the ring and feel gladiatorial in the 21st century I am in.
“I love boxing as a sport and I think it’s fantastic. I would just enjoy the challenge and the road up to it would be great.
I would fight KSI he would have to come down a few weight slots. But yeah I’d fight him. I like him too much though.
“I will fight whoever you want. But I don’t think Justin Bieber would do it.”
