AARON CHALMERS wants his exhibition with Floyd Mayweather to be in 4oz gloves – and called out Tommy Fury.
Chalmers has been announced as the next crossover boxing star to share the ring with the American legend.
Mayweather, 45, is set to make his UK boxing debut on Febuary 25 at the O2 Arena in his sixth exhibition since officially retiring.
Meanwhile Chalmers, 35, won his professional boxing debut last year having crossed over from MMA, where he was 5-2.
The Geordie Shore star was initially brought over to boxing after entering talks to face Fury, 23, who starred on Love Island in 2019.
And although negotiations collapsed, he is out to settle the score after first sharing the ring with boxing royalty.

Chalmers said: “So I’m seeing a lot of s*** chatted online, right.
“But, at the end of the day, it’s me that’s fighting Floyd and I’ve got no hesitation of going in there and having a fight.
“That’s exactly what I’ve always done, every fight I’ve had. And once I take care of business with Floyd, then I’m going to smash Tommy Fury.
“Because he’s the reason that I got involved in boxing in the first place, was to fight him but it never materialised.”

Mayweather hung up his gloves as a pro in 2017 after beating ex-UFC champion Conor McGregor, 34.
But he has returned for five exhibitions since against stars of the MMA, social media and boxing world.
His most recent came in November against YouTuber Deji, 26, which he won in six rounds.
Although the bout in Dubai faced collapse just moments before after a row over the gloves, with Deji having to wear 10oz instead of the 14oz he signed for.
But Chalmers has insisted there will be no such problems with him and is even willing to go back to his roots with the smaller 4oz gloves used in MMA.
“So, like I say I’m not Deji, I’m not asking to fight in bigger gloves, I agreed to fight in 10s and if he really wants to, let’s do it in 4s.
“Me and Floyd in 4oz gloves, doesn’t get much better than that.”
