Soulja Boy reportedly kicked Floyd Mayweather to the curb as his trainer for his much-publicized upcoming bout with Chris Brown. According to TMZ, the Atlanta/Mississippi rapper is now getting boxing expertise from former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield.

The celebrity news outlet reports that Soulja’s promoter, Wack 100, reached out to Holyfield and sealed the deal. The site also says that SB is talking a lot about “knocking out” Chris. The champ reportedly shared a few tips: “train harder, talk less.”

Keep in mind, now, that Mike Tyson is training Brown. The last time that Tyson and Holyfield met up in the squared circle, Tyson bit a hunk of Holyfield’s ear clean off the side of his face in their 1997 fight.

As for the reason behind Soulja’s decision, “felt like he was too busy with other interests. We’re told there’s no hard feelings, just business,” TMZ reports.

The brawl supposed to go down in March, reportedly in Dubai, but the date and venue have yet to be set.
