26-year-old Justin Bieber is a Canadian pop star whose list of hit singles includes songs like 'Baby,' and 'What Do You Mean?' The former Youtube sensation has gone on to sell over 150 million albums and counting.

Most people know 'Biebs' can move on the stage, but not everyone is aware that pop sensation can also move in the boxing ring. The chart-topper honed his boxing skills by working with none other than Floyd 'Money' Mayweather.

Actor-director Rory Kramer explained what it was like stepping into the ring with Bieber.

'I have been in the ring twice, both times with Bieber, and he smoked me. We were on tour, and both times I was running my mouth… he’s been trained by Floyd [Mayweather]. He knows what he’s doing.'

The London, Ontario product has also practiced Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for several years and received his purple belt from legendary grappler Eddie Bravo. Thus giving him a fairly well-rounded skill set for someone so young.
