RnB singer Mike Posner is on the fence when it comes to who will win the much hyped boxing match between hip-hop stars Chris Brown and Soulja Boy.
The 28-year-old was talking to The National ahead of his headlining appearance on the closing night of the pop-music festival, RedfestDXB, held at the Dubai Media City Amphitheater on February 2-3.
Posner professed not even being aware the fight was going ahead.
"Chris Brown is pretty hard – I've never met Soulja Boy, but Chris Brown is a big guy – a tall, strong guy," said the I Took a Pill in Ibiza singer.
“But that doesn’t really matter – if someone knows how to fight, they know how to fight. You can be a small guy and know how to fight a big guy. I’m not a fighter – I’m a lover.”
Chris Brown, who was initially booked for RedfestDxb, pulled out of the festival last week. He has been replaced by reggae star Sean Paul and rapper G-Eazy.
Brown will be trained by none other than Mike Tyson while Soulja Boy will have Floyd Mayweather on his side.
While no official date has been announced for the fight, celebrity website TMZ is touting Dubai as the next location being “thrown around” for the three-round clash, slated to take place in March.
