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.

Hip hop stars Chris Brown and Soulja Boy will meet in the boxing ring – with boxing legends Floyd Mayweather to train Soulja Boy and Mike Tyson to train Brown

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.
