Former One Direction star Liam Payne has called out YouTube star KSI and musician Justin Bieber for fights in the boxing ring.
Payne shot to fame when he first appeared on singing competition X-Factor in 2008 before joining with One Direction bandmates Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson. The band later separated in 2015 with the musicians going on to enjoy success as solo artists.
Payne has since revealed he is a big fan of boxing and was ringside for Josh Taylor's controversial victory over Jack Catterall. He is now keen to compete inside the ring although does not believe fellow musician Bieber would not entertain a fight offer. "If there is a chance for me to jump in the ring and feel gladiatorial in the 21st century I am in," Payne told Logan Paul during an episode of Impaulsive.
