Astonishingly, the world could have possibly witnessed a celebrity boxing event between Canadian pop singer Justin Bieber and Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise.
Floyd Mayweather wanted to promote Justin Bieber vs Tom Cruise
Following a barrage of exhibition fights, in a shocking turn of events, singer Justin Bieber called out the star of the Mission Impossible franchise, Tom Cruise for a UFC fight inside the Octagon. TMZ asked Mayweather if he was interested in fighting either of them.
I wanna challenge Tom Cruise to fight in the octagon. Tom if you dont take this fight your scared and you will never live it down. Who is willing to put on the fight? @danawhite ?

Having fought a fellow celebrity, Logan Paul, Floyd Mayweather stated that he had no interest in fighting either of them. However, he didn’t mention that he would be willing to act as a promoter to make the fight a reality.
He said, “Well, I don’t really wanna get in any business, but if they bring me in as a promoter then I could talk about it. But until then I gotta stay in my lane, gotta stay in my business.”
Additionally, when questioned about who he believes would emerge victorious, Mayweather stayed diplomatic and said, “No, once again I gotta stay in my lane, gotta stay in my business.”

The YouTube sensation is no joke when it comes to boxing as he fought fellow KSI and went head to head against Mayweather himself. Additionally, Paul stood his ground against the undefeated boxer.
