HIP HOP superstars Chris Brown and Soulja Boy have agreed to stage a three round boxing match to settle their ongoing feud.
And the pair will turn to boxing legends Floyd Mayweather and Mike Tyson to help them train for the March bout – which will be shown live on pay-per-view in Las Vegas.
The beef apparently started after Soulja Boy liked a picture posted by one of Brown‘s exes on Instagram.
The pair then engaged in a long war of words over social media, with Soulja Boy even calling out Brown’s daughter Royalty.
Brown responded: “Royalty is two and has five times more money that Soulja Boy already.
“I’d be mad too.”

Brown also accused Soulja Boy of being a drug addict and a police informant.
Soulja Boy then offered to meet Brown in Compton for a street fight, but in a video gone wrong – some claim it was staged – Soulja Boy is pushed by one person while another appears to steal his phone.
he then apologised for his erratic behaviour, Brown’s lawyer attempted to sue and then Soulja Boy went back on his apology.
Soulja Boy then called on his friend Mayweather to train him – and the former pound-for-pound king accepted.

The New York rapper is also the one who got Tyson in.
“Listen Mike, they say Floyd’s going to be training Soulja Boy so I said I’ve gotta get Mike Tyson to train Chris Brown,” he said in a phone call posted to Instagram.
