Soulja Boy Fired Floyd Mayweather As Coach For Chris Brown Fight

There has been another development in the build up to the highly anticipated fight between Soulja Boy and Chris Brown. 

The beef started with a string of social media insults and soon escalated into a forthcoming celebrity boxing match between the pair, topped off with celebrity boxing coaches.

Chris Brown is working closely with Mike Tyson in the lead up to the match with Soulja Boy backed by Floyd Mayweather. Reports are now saying Soulja Boy is being trained by five time heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield, however. 

TMZ report that Soulja Boy feels Mayweather "was too busy with other interests" to be involved in the fight. Mayweather's other interests could be his controversial fight with Conor McGregor that is yet to be determined.

The Chris Brown and Soulja Boy celebrity boxing match is set to go ahead in Dubai, mid-March.
