FLOYD MAYWEATHER is set for his first fight in the UK as he takes on ex-Geordie Shore star Aaron Chalmers NEXT WEEK.
Mayweather was last in action at the end of 2022 when he stopped KSI’s brother Deji in the sixth round of their fight.
The 50-0 boxing icon also beat Mikuru Asakura and Don Moore in exhibition fights last year.
Chalmers, best known for his stint on reality TV show Geordie Shore, has turned his hand to combat sports in recent years.
Having won a few MMA bouts, most notably with Bellator, Chalmers launched his boxing career last year, winning on points.
But a clash against one of the greatest fighters of all time in Mayweather represents an entirely different task.
When is Mayweather vs Chalmers?
- Mayweather’s clash with Chalmers will take place on Saturday, February 25.
- The event will be held at London’s O2 Arena.
- Expect ring-walks for the event to get underway from around 10.30pm UK time.
What TV channel is it on and can it be live streamed?
Mayweather vs Chalmers will be broadcast live on the Zeus Network.
The price will be £25 to pre-order.
Mayweather’s clash against Deji took place on DAZN PPV, but his fights have also been shown on Fite TV before.
