Legendary former boxing world champion Floyd Mayweather will face Geordie Shore star Aaron Chalmers in his first United Kingdom bout next month after his initial opponent pulled out.
The 50-0 boxer hung up his gloves in 2017 having never fought outside of America in his professional career, but has travelled the world taking on exhibition bouts since. He has competed in Japan and Dubai multiple times, as well as facing YouTuber Logan Paul in Miami in the summer of 2021.
And after Muay-Thai champion Liam Harrison pulled out of a bout at the O2 Arena on February 25, Mayweather has announced that he will face Chalmers, 35. The Newcastle native is best known for his stint as a star on MTV reality show Geordie Shore as well as a number of others, but has a fighting background in MMA under the Bellator and BAMMA banners, as well as recently winning his boxing debut.
