SugarHill happy to teach Justin Bieber to box, but warns him not to spar with Fury
Steward said he’d be ‘open’ to training Bieber, but warned him against sparring with Tyson Fury
Music megastar Justin Bieber is being targeted as the lead role for a Rocky-esque movie detailing the life of Ukrainian boxing legend Dmitriy Salita.
Betway Blog caught up with Tyson Fury’s trainer SugarHill Steward this week after One Direction star Liam Payne challenged Justin Bieber to a fight.
SugarHill said: "I would definitely have Justin Bieber in camp because Emanuel [Steward] was teaching Eminem so it's no different. I like to teach and it doesn't matter who I teach at this point. I just like teaching, I enjoy it.
"I would be very open to not only teaching Justin Bieber how to box but teaching him how to knock guys out.
"I think he'd get on well [in the gym]. He's a successful entertainer so he's worked hard to get to this point. So being in camp would not be anything less than he's been doing his whole life. In my training camp we also have fun. It's about having fun. It will be hard work but it'll be fun. It's a family oriented gym.
"I don't know about Tyson Fury but I've got some other world champions Bieber can get in there with. Definitely, Bieber can learn something from being in the ring and sparring with champions.
"That's something we've always done growing up. We've had world champions boxing with pure novices, doesn't matter. It's not about beating them up, it's about teaching them. And at the same time the champion can work on something himself.”
