Former boxing world champion, Floyd Mayweather eased through an exhibition bout with the UK’s Aaron Chalmers.

Mayweather, 46, is still plying his trade around the world, boxing opposition far below his operating level. Last night, it was the turn of former reality TV star and MMA fighter, Chalmers, who agreed to face to five-weight world champion after initial opponent Liam Harrison was ruled out due to a knee injury.

The event had an abysmal attendance with the event being postponed for half an hour in order to attempt to fill up the practically empty 02 Arena. Tickets were also reduced in a last-minute ditch to garner more sales.

As for the bout, Mayweather simply played with his food – extending Chalmers to see the final bell. At times the American would showboat, playing up for the crowd as he pot-shotted the out-of-depth Brit.  

The fight would end in a no-decision due to it being an exhibition.

I would like to thank all the fans in the UK. The fans are unbelievable,” Mayweather said following the bout. “This guy is tough as nails; we had a chance to come together. I came to entertain the people, and I’m glad I came.”

“I have a lot of experience. He has to continue to work hard and believe in himself. He’s got a tough chin – anything is possible.” (H/T BoxingNews24)

What’s next for Floyd Mayweather?

It’s unclear what exactly Mayweather will do next, but it is likely that we will see him enter some kind of exhibition match in the near future in an attempt to add to his supposed fortune.

Former five-division boxing world champion, Floyd Mayweather Jr. has announced his latest exhibition opponent.

Over four years since his last professional bout, Mayweather will now enter his sixth exhibition bout. The 45-year-old has fought an array of opposition, from kickboxers to influencers; now though Mayweather will turn his attention to former member of the Geordie Shore cast, Aaron Chalmers.

Chalmers turned his attention to fighting following his time on reality television, making his professional MMA debut in May 2017. Chalmers earned himself a 5-2 record, picking up wins on BAMMA and Bellator before turning his attention to boxing, making his debut in June of last year.

Floyd Mayweather talks matchup

Mayweather was originally tipped to face Muay Thai fighter, Liam Harrison, but 37-year-old was forced out due to a knee injury.

I was originally supposed to face a different opponent, but injuries happen and I’m glad that Aaron Chalmers could step up so that we could give the fans what they want,” said Mayweather.

“The fans in the UK have always been great to me and supported me throughout my career, so an event like this has been a long time coming. I’m excited to add more history to the O2 Arena in London.”

While facing one of the greatest boxer ever is a certainly a tall order, Chalmers seems up for the test and happy compete against someone of Mayweather calibre.

“I’ve been training with Adam Booth in the boxing gym and I’m eager to make a name for myself in the boxing world.

“I jumped on this opportunity immediately. It’s an honour to share the ring with one of the greatest fighters of all time and I’m definitely going to take advantage of it.” (H/T Sky Sports)

Even at his age, Mayweather still seems set on boxing regularly, all be it against low-level competition and shows no signs of slowing down.

Former reality TV star turned professional MMA fighter Aaron Chalmers has announced his retirement from the sport.

The 33-year-old of Geordie Shore fame shared a video to his social media on Thursday in which he celebrated six months sober, revealed he was done competing in MMA, and hinted at a new career in boxing.

“Today is a big day for me,” Chalmers said. “I am six months sober, six months in total, exactly half a year since my last week. I set out to do one month off the drink to sort myself out because I was sitting at nearly 90 kilos, drinking every day, and I said to myself that I need to change. So I said I would have one month off and now the plan is to have a whole year.”

“I’m at a new gym with amazing people around us, everyone’s got the same mindset,” Chalmers said. “We’ve left MMA behind. MMA is now a thing of the past. We’re on to a new challenge, a new target, a new goal, and I couldn’t be happier.

“Anxiety is non-existent. I don’t have the fear when you wake up after drinking beer, so it’s been—I wouldn’t even say it’s been a long six months, because it’s been pretty easy. I literally put my mind to it, I put my mind to it six months ago, I switched to a new gym four months ago, and that was the game-changer. Being around people who are superior athletes, is the only way to put them, has just put my mindset to just train, train, train and be healthy.”

“We’re putting MMA behind and focusing on a new goal,” Chalmers said. “So roll on the next six months and keep your eyes tuned because there’s gonna be some news coming, hopefully very soon.” (Transcribed by MMA Fighting)

Chalmers finishes his MMA career with a record of 5 wins and two defeats. The Englishman debuted in 2017 and quickly picked up four consecutive first-round finishes. He joined Bellator in 2018 and went 2-2 with the promotion. Most recently Chalmers lost via unanimous decision to Austin Clem at Bellator 240.

Former reality star turned MMA fighter Aaron Chalmers is set to return to action on Feb 22 at the 3 Arena in Dublin. ‘The Joker’ will face Austin Clem in a main card fight at Bellator Dublin, which will be headlined by a bantamweight bout between James Gallagher and Cal Ellenor.

The return of Chalmers was one of several bouts released for the card via press release this morning.

Chalmers (4-1) got back in the win column last time out, submitting Fred Freeman in round two of their fight at Bellator 223. Previously he had picked up his first career defeat against Corey Browning at Bellator Newcastle.

The 32-year-old
former Geordie Shore star will look to make it two in a row against Bellator
debutant Austin Clem (3-1). An American fighter who turned pro late last year
and is currently riding a two-fight win streak. All three of his wins have come
by choke and he could represent a problem on the mat.

Bellator Europe announced several more bouts for February’s Dublin show and its preliminary card. It will feature a high-profile clash between popular Welshman Lewis Long (17-5) and UFC veteran Oliver Enkamp.

Irish middleweight Will Fleury (6-2), who fights out of SBG will look to get back in the win column. He’ll face Englishman Justin Moore (9-4) who is ridning a two-fight win streak since losing in his first and only Bellator appearance against Charlie Ward.

Bellator have also announced that Blaine O’Driscoll (7-3-0) will face Ezzoubair Bouarsa (7-1). Danni Neilan (1-0) will look to add to her debut win when she faces Chiara Penco (4-1-0).
