Geordie Shore star Aaron Chalmers explains why he turned down Tommy Fury fight

Geordie Shore star Aaron Chalmers claims that he had gone as far as inking a deal to fight Tommy Fury, before ultimately pulling out of the fight.

Chalmers, who has spent the last two years preparing for his professional boxing debut after quitting MMA, is gearing up to finally step in the ring on Friday night on Wasserman Boxing's show in Liverpool. But the reality TV star has had a number of stop-start attempts at launching his career, including a Newcastle date earlier this year that was cancelled due to injury.

And the Geordie fighter has told of how he was once signed to fight Love Island star and possible Jake Paul opponent Tommy Fury, but opted against it after poor preparation. Chalmers has since been training with Adam Booth alongside the likes of Kurt Walker and Michael Conlan, and now feels he is ready to get another shot at Fury.
