But the internet icons turn pro for their controversial rematch, and boxing fan JB backs his countrymen to get the win.

Bieber told Sky Sports: “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.
