It was later reported that Justin's manager Scooter had a chat with the co-CEO of the agency that owns UFC, Ari Emanuel.

TMZ claimed that Scooter had confirmed Justin would absolutely fight the actor.

And Ari strongly believed Tom would be up for it.

However, that was the last we heard of it.

Carpool Karaoke

Justin appeared on the latest episode of James Corden's Carpool Karaoke this week.

The TV presenter asks him about the tweet and he replies, "I dunno, I was just being stupid to be honest."

Justin says when people became interested, he thought it would be funny to actually go ahead with it.

Justin responds, "See I'll try not to let my ego get in the way but there's absolutely no way."

The pop star gets invested, "He's not the guy you see in movies. He's not."

He turns to James and admits, "You’re really boiling me up! I’m gonna f**kin’ fight you, bro!"
