Floyd Mayweather, who was recently filmed doing boxing sessions with Justin Bieber, said that the 20-year-old Canadian singer could be a pro boxer.

Mayweahter, in a video posted by TMZ, said Bieber could fight at the pro level.

When asked, Mayweather said, “Oh Absolutely ... Justin Bieber’s a true champion,” he said, apparently without sarcasm.

“As you know, Bieber and Mayweather are tight -- and Floyd spent several hours training the pop star at a famous L.A. boxing gym last month,” the TMZ report notes.
