It’s been reported that Justin Bieber is unofficially with Floyd Mayweather’s Money Team and now the 18-year-old pop star is reportedly taking boxing lessons from legend Mike Tyson. Last week, Tyson tweeted about the boxing lesson he gave Beiber during the same weekend of the Billboard Music Awards. “Justin swung by my place during the weekend of the Billboard Music Awards to say hi to the family. We took him straight to garage and had him hit the bag. JB’s got the moves!,” Tyson tweeted. Turns out the week after the training session, Bieber got into a small scuffle of his own with a paparazzo who was trying to take a picture of him and his girlfriend, Selena Gomez, as they were walking out of a theater at The Commons at Calabasas. The Huffington Post reports:

Justin Bieber knows how to throw a punch.

We knew the 18-year-old pop star was a fan of boxing, but we definitely wouldn’t want to mess with him now that he’s learned a thing or two from heavyweight champion Mike Tyson.

Over the weekend, the 45-year-old retired boxer posted a video and a couple of photos from his training session with Bieber, which took place last week.

“Justin swung by my place during the weekend of the Billboard Music Awards to say hi to the family. We took him straight to garage and had him hit the bag. JB’s got the moves!,” Tyson tweeted along with the video, which has been made private but is still available to view elsewhere.
