Justin Bieber supports pal Logan Paul to beat KSI in rematch as popstar sends fans wild at Staples Center
POP STAR Justin Bieber shared a prayer with social media pal Logan Paul before his professional boxing debut against KSI.
The YouTube rivals fight for a second time tonight in Los Angeles having drawn in an exhibition bout last August.
But the internet icons turn pro for their controversial rematch, and boxing fan JB backs his countrymen to get the win.
Bieber told “I don’t have any predictions but I hope that he wins.
“I don’t really know KSI and I guess I’m just a fan of Logan.
“It’s really cool I think it’s where it’s all going.”
Bieber, 25, is no stranger to big boxing nights.
The star - famed for hits such ‘Baby’ and ‘Where Are U Now’ - used to walk former pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather to the ring.
He also trained with the Mayweather, and former Brit heavyweight David Haye.
More recently Bieber hit the headlines in June for calling out actor Tom Cruise, 57, to an MMA fight.
JB tagged UFC president Dana White in his call out on Twitter.

It was claimed Ari Emanuel, the co-CEO of the William Morris Endeavor agency that owns UFC, had a conference call with Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, and White.
And it was suggested star of Mission Impossible Cruise was also on board to compete in the celebrity fight.
However, talks for the mega-money showdown have since come to nothing.
