Singer Justin Bieber has "real boxing potential", according to former boxing champion Andre Berto.
"The guy has got real boxing potential," Berto, who trains at the same boxing gym as Bieber, told tmz.com.

"The kid is crazy athletic, I have seen that from kickin' it with him a few years back. He has good speed and power."
