JUSTIN Bieber clearly thinks he can handle himself, as he steps into the ring
with boxing champ Floyd Mayweather Jr.
But fans of the Boyfriend singer don’t need to worry, as he was only
congratulating Floyd on taking the WBA light-middleweight title last night.
The 18-year-old star was joined by hip-hop royalty Lil Wayne and 50 Cent as he
posed for pics with the US fighter.
Mayweather beat opponent Miguel Cotto on points at the MGM Grand Garden Arena,
in Las Vegas, to add to his collection of titles.
Justin joined his pal in his changing room before the fight, and even posed
with two of the champ’s belts.
And the pair spoke of their admiration for each other on Twitter, with
Mayweather tweeting: “@justinbieber keep up the great work and thanks
for the support #TheMoneyTeam. Enjoy the fight.”
Justin returned the compliment, saying: “@FloydMayweather Hard Work &
Dedication . congrats champ. glad i could be a part of it.”
Boxing isn’t far from the only sport the pop scamp’s a fan of, as he’s also a
huge golf enthusiast.
And megastar Justin has a high-profile pal to show him the ropes in US golfer
Bubba Watson, who won his first US Masters earlier this month.
On
a recent trip to Britain, Justin made sure to book some secret trips to a
golf simulator.
A source said: “Justin is mad on golf and has a brilliant swing. It focuses
his mind.
“He’s had a lot of madness surrounding him from fans since he landed in
Britain, so he booked time at an indoor golf simulator yesterday to relax.”
And
last year Bieber was invited along to train with Spanish football giants
Barcelona.
