Back in 2019, singer Justin Bieber, out of nowhere, had openly challenged superstar Tom Cruise for a fight in the octagon. He had tweeted, “I wanna challenge tom cruise to fight in the octagon. Tom if you dont take this fight your scared and you will never live it down. Who is willing to put on the fight? @danawhite ?” Soon after, the Baby hit-maker claimed that it was just another random tweet he put out. However, during his recent carpool karaoke segment on James Corden's The Late Late Show, the singer seems to have changed his mind and revealed that his challenge to Tom is very much on.
Upon being asked about his challenge, Justin revealed, “I was just being stupid, to be honest. Not stupid but then people were like, ‘yeah, I wanna see this happen.’ Then I was like, ‘You know what, that could actually be funny.” To which, the host assured Justin that Tom would literally kick his butt, but Justin was adamant on his belief of beating Tom. “I’m trying not to let my ego get in the way, but there’s absolutely no way. He’s not the guy you see in movies,” added Bieber.
Further, James, once again, tried to warn Justin by saying that a 57-year-old Tom Cruise is in “phenomenal shape,” to which he responded saying, “That doesn’t mean you’re a good fighter. See, I start to get frustrated cause you’re really boiling me up man. I think you’re mesmerized by the characters he plays. I’m dangerous. My agility is insane.”

Umm, and just when James told Justin how Tom himself does all of his dangerous stunts, the singer brushed it off adding that Tom is “just an actor”. “You don’t understand the mind control that I have. My mind control is another specimen. I’m different. I’m the Conor McGregor of entertainment,” said the singer. Okay then!

Well, back then, Tom didn’t respond to Justin’s challenge; however, we think it’s about time he considers getting into an octagon.
