      Aaron Chalmers reveals talks with Tommy Fury but still eyes life-changing fight with Jake Paul and Love Islanders

      by

      AARON CHALMERS is now in position to set himself up with life-changing fights with stars from the YouTube and reality TV world. Chalmers, 34, has now confirmed his switch from MMA to professional boxing, signing for promotional company Boxxer and Sky Sports.
      Former reality TV star Aaron Chalmers, 34, has confirmed his move from MMA to boxing
      It is the latest chapter in his prizefighting career, which started in 2017 with an MMA debut and will now carry on into the ring.
      But Chalmers almost began his boxing career with a mega-fight against fellow influencer Tommy Fury.
      He verbally agreed to face Fury, 22, while out of shape weighing 14st and having never boxed before.
      But after meeting with trainer Adam Booth in the following days and revealing his plan, the esteemed boxing brain put a stop to that.
      Chalmers told SunSport: “I met Adam a week later, and he said, ‘No chance’. It was not in my favour whatsoever.”
      What followed for Chalmers was 17 months under the watchful eye of Booth, who famously led David Haye to a heavyweight world title.

      He is set to make his pro boxing debut this April in the middleweight division as the latest high-profile name to sign with Sky Sports.
      Chalmers helped headline MMA shows in his home of Newcastle – as well as London and Dublin – with the backing of his Geordie Shore fanbase.
      And re-igniting talks with Fury, brother to heavyweight champion Tyson, could be another way of introducing boxing to a new set of eyeballs.
      Chalmers said: “I don’t know Tommy, but I know he probably gets as much stick as I do.
      “So maybe that’s something we can look at down the line. He’s a big lad, stuff like that, it interests us.
      “Because it’s a challenge, it’s a big fight, maybe not for so-called ‘boxing fans’.
      “But I’ll bring Geordie Shore fans to the boxing, which is not a bad thing.”

      Chalmers is surrounded by elite boxing talent like Michael Conlan, Liam Williams and Josh Kelly at Booth’s Surrey-based gym.
      He lives nearby, but that comes at the cost of spending only one weekend every fortnight back home with his partner Talia and their three kids.
      But with the likes of YouTuber Jake Paul, 25, bringing millions of pounds to any opponent he faces, it offers Chalmers the ultimate reward.
      Chalmers, who has 2million Instagram followers, said: “The sacrifices were made because I knew what could come, I’m looking at how boxing is going.
      “Obviously, you’ve got your Jake Pauls and all that, going down that route. If one of them fights come up, that’s my family sorted for life.
      “Not that I’m chasing that from the off, but I know with the right noise made, something like that could happen.
      “Then the sacrifices would be worth it, as I’d never have to work a day in my life again.”

      Paul’s coach BJ Flores is an old friend of Chalmers’ manager Booth, potentially making the fight easier to negotiate.
      Love Island winner Jack Fincham, 30, is another celeb with a boxing background, looking to get in the ring again.
      But despite the list of big-money bouts on offer to Chalmers, winning a prestigious domestic belt, like the famed English or British titles, could be just as rewarding.
      Chalmers said: “By all means, if Adam and I thought in two or three years time, I was ready, then 100 per cent I would never shy away from trying to earn a belt.
      “For someone who started boxing at 33 years old I would f***ing love to retire with a British or English title.
      “For me that is a big, big step, but we’ll see. Along with those fights, you’ve also got Jack Fincham, and other fighters in boxing we can look at.
      “I’m just excited, I’m so glad it’s been announced.”

      Jake Paul vs Aaron Chalmers tale of the tape: How two compare as ex-Georgie Shore man eyes up fight with YouTuber

      by

      JAKE PAUL has been told he’s ‘looking at the wrong person’ as he tries to line up a bout with Tommy Fury.Geordie Shore star Aaron Chalmers has stepped in to demand Paul fight him instead of Tyson’s brother.

      The YouTube star is known to be frustrated at the time it’s taking to make a fight with Love Island’s Fury.
      Revealing he’s ‘p***ed off’ with slow negotiations, Paul also taunted Fury by claiming ‘no one gives a f*** about you’.
      Fellow reality star Chalmers has sensed his opportunity and told Paul he was ready to step face him in the ring.
      He said: “With all due respect, if you’re looking at fighting someone from the UK who does big numbers you’re looking at the wrong person.
      “Just look at the viewings every Bellator card I was on, sold out my home town arena twice. Let’s fight Jake Paul.”
      Chalmers is a former Bellator MMA competitor and would be making a crossover into the boxing ring if he does face Paul.

      The Joker, as he’s known, is 10 years older than the man he called out but shares a similar level of experience inside the ropes with seven fights to Paul’s four.
      In terms of punching power there is not much to choose between them with Paul scoring just one more KO than his potential rival.
      But Paul would have both youth and height on his side if the pair ever met as he stands three inches taller.
      It remains to be seen whether Paul vs Fury will happen – the Brit turned down two deals before Paul made a public offer of $1 million to face him.
      A war of words has since escalated between the two with Paul claiming time was running out to sign on.
      He said: “Tommy, it’s like Eminem said ‘you only got one shot, do not miss your chance to blow, this opportunity comes once in a lifetime’. Make the right choice.”

      Geordie Shore’s Aaron Chalmers calls out Jake Paul and tells YouTube ace he’s ‘looking at wrong person’ in Tommy Fury

      Revealing he’s ‘p***ed off’ with slow negotiations, Paul also taunted Fury by claiming ‘no one gives a f*** about you’.
      Fury, 22, signed a two-fight deal with network Showtime and made his US debut in late August, beating Paul’s sparring partner Anthony Taylor, 32.
      Later that night, Paul, 24, scored the biggest win of his career against ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley, 39, over the eight-round distance.
      Two offers were then turned down by Fury, who believed they were ‘not even worth talking about’.
      That led to Paul’s public offer to increase it to $1m off his own back because his management were ready to move on to other targets.
      But Chalmers is now ready to take Fury’s place, telling Paul: “With all due respect, if you’re looking at fighting someone from the UK who does big numbers you’re looking at the wrong person.

      “Just look at the viewings every Bellator card I was on, sold out my home town arena twice. Let’s fight Jake Paul.”
      It remains to be seen if Paul takes up the offer after he called out Fury for a final time.
      Paul said: “This is the last time I’m speaking about this guy if we don’t end up fighting because I’m starting to get p***** off.
      “Tommy’s about to fumble the biggest bag of his life. Tommy, I made you famous, I gave you the biggest payday [reportedly $1million] of your life.
      “I gave you the chance to shine in front of the world and now I’m offering to quadruple the biggest payday of your life that I gave you to fight you.
      “This is what happens when you give someone clout and an ego, they start to think they’re better than they actually are.

      “I have dozens of other fighters calling me out every week, Tommy. You’re replaceable.
      “Tommy, no one gives a f*** about you. If it wasn’t for your older brother [Tyson Fury], who I respect, or your catfish girlfriend [Molly-Mae Hague], we all made you famous. You didn’t make yourself famous.
      “Tommy, it’s like Eminem said ‘you only got one shot, do not miss your chance to blow, this opportunity comes once in a lifetime’. Make the right choice.”

      by

      He announced via social media that he was no longer continuing his MMA journey and hinted at a new switch.
      Chalmers followed it up by confirming plans to move into WWE before retiring for good aged 40.
      He tweeted: “Couple of years in my new career which will be announced soon and then we move to @WWEUK@WWE and retired at 40.”
      Asked if he was moving into celebrity boxing, Chalmers replied: “Nope not celebrity.”

      Couple of years in my new career which will be announced soon and then we move to @WWEUK @WWE and retired at 40 🙏🏽
      — Aaron chalmers (@AaronCGShore) February 23, 2021

      The 33-year-old, who had two knockouts in MMA, is now training at esteemed boxing coach Adam Booth’s gym.
      Booth has trained ex-world champions David Haye, George Groves and Andy Lee, and currently has a stable of rising talent.
      That includes Josh Kelly, Michael Conlan, Harlem Eubank and Shannon Courtenay.
      And it was Sunderland’s Kelly and 2012 London Olympics bronze medalist Conlan who let the cat out the bag that Chalmers was turning over.

      The pair called for their new gym-mate to fight YouTuber-turned boxer Jake Paul, who is 2-0 since debuting in 2020.
      Conlan, 29, said on Matchroom’s podcast: “Speaking about Aaron actually – we want Jake Paul. Aaron’s a celebrity, we want Jake Paul.
      “Aaron will f*** Jake Paul up. I will say it now, he will f*** Jake Paul up.
      “Jake Paul’s a b****. He’ll f*** him up. Simple as that.”
      Kelly, 26, added: “Jake Paul’s never a cruiserweight, either. He should be getting that weight off, getting down.
      “Aaron’s got what, nearly what three million followers on Instagram and Twitter? If that fight doesn’t sell what will?”
      Conlan then urged promoter Eddie Hearn to get in touch with them to set up the fight with 24-year-old Paul.
