19-year-old popstar Justin Bieber did a John Terry as he flew by private jet to support undisputed champion Floyd Mayweather Jr as he defended his title against hard-hitting 'Ginger Mexican' Saul Alvarez.
According to the Mirror, the Canadian singer, 19, even escorted the welterweight champ, 36, into the ring at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas last night. The 19-year-old walked silently behind Mayweather as the super-welterweight made one his characteristic over-the-top entrances in front of 17,000 fans, the report said.
Among the A list stars sat at ringside were Jack Nicholson, Denzel Washington, Heidi Klum, and singer P Diddy, the report added.
Only Chelsea's Terry, who lifted the Champions League trophy when he wasn't playing, was missing.
It was the second time the teenager has escorted the fighter, 36, in to the ring after the two millionaires formed a close friendship, the report further said.
The pair regularly spends time together with Bieber having sung at Mayweather's daughter's 13th birthday, according to the report.
