Justin Bieber talks Tom Cruise fight challenge
Justin Bieber challenged Hollywood movie star Tom Cruise to a fight in the Octagon last year.
His proposal sparked controversy online with many convinced at one point that the fight would go ahead.
And judging from Justin's latest Carpool Karaoke appearance, he's not backing down.
On June 10th Justin tweeted, 'I wanna challenge Tom Cruise to fight in the octagon.'
'Tom if you dont take this fight your scared and you will never live it down.'
He added, 'Who is willing to put on the fight?'

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.
James comments, "I don't think it would be much fun for you."
"I gotta say, I think if you and me have a fight, you win."
"I think if you and Tom Cruise have a fight, I back Tom every day of the week. "

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!"
Justin claims, "I’m dangerous. My agility is insane. I don’t think you understand the mind control that I have!"
"My mind control is another specimen. I’m different."
He remarks, "I’m the Conor McGregor of entertainment!"
In a recent interview, Justin gets emotional when talking about Billie Eilish.
