  • ‘Money’ will take on Geordie Shore star Aaron Chalmers in an exhibition bout 
  • The fight between Mayweather and Chalmers will take place at the O2 Arena 

Floyd Mayweather is set to make his UK debut when he faces Geordie Shore star Aaron Chalmers in a boxing exhibition showdown next weekend.

Mayweather, who had a professional record of 50-0, was supposed to fight British kickboxing star Liam Harrison for the event – but the 37-year-old was forced to pull out due to injury.

Since retiring from professional boxing in 2017, Mayweather has participated in several exhibition bouts.

‘Money’ last fought in November when he defeated Deji Olatunji, brother of YouTube star KSI, via TKO in the sixth round.

But while his opponent is known for being a Geordie Shore star, he isn’t new to the fighting game. Chalmers has seven professional MMA fights under his belt – with his last fight coming in 2020.
