Boxing fans are furious after learning Floyd Mayweather’s exhibition bout with Aaron Chalmers will be the UK’s most expensive pay-per-view ever. News broke earlier this month that Muay Thai fighter Liam Harrison had pulled out of a fight with Mayweather due to a knee injury.
With the February 25 date just weeks away, Geordie Shore star Chalmers stepped up for the biggest test of his career. The Kenton native previously fought for MMA organisation Bellator but only has one professional boxing fight to his name, a points victory over journeyman Alexander Zeledon last June.
Chalmers now has an enormous opportunity to test his skills against one of the greatest to ever don a pair of gloves. Mayweather, worth an estimated £400million, has taken part in several exhibition bouts since retiring in August 2017.
