Boxer David Haye: 'Justin Bieber threw a hard punch'

David Haye has revealed that he was shocked by Canadian sensation Justin Bieber's ability to punch when they had a training session together.

During an appearance on 'The Clare Balding Show', the boxer admitted that he was surprised by the 'As Long As You Love Me' singer's strength and would even consider him one of his best students so far:

"Justin Bieber, believe it or not, was really good. I know it is the last person you think who would be any good at boxing but he was really good. I wasn't expecting him to be that good."

"He's Justin Bieber - you think he is just a little singer, but his timing was really good and he could punch hard. I was shocked."

Bieber, meanwhile, has been working on brand new music and teased his fans by telling them that they'll be really surprised by it when he finally unveils it: "Been working on some incredible stuff and will share with you soon. No one sees this coming. Always push yourself to be great."
