Aaron Chalmers in Disbelief: ‘It Hasn’t Sunk In’ About Fight With Floyd Mayweather

Floyd Mayweather Jr, the former five-weight division champ is among the biggest sports icons across the globe. The undefeated former champ has taken up exhibitions since he hung up his gloves in 2017. The 45-year-old knows it well that he has nothing left to prove in the ring so through these showdowns he is continuing to entertain his fans, while also making easy money and promoting the sport. This is the reason, ‘The Pretty Boy’ is landing these contests in different parts of the world where he never fought before against opponents who are not at the championship level, like him. The previous opponents he chose were YouTubers, kickboxers, and former professional boxers.

The intentions are clear. He is certainly not looking for a tough fight. As a result, when he booked an exhibition in the UK, he announced taking on Muay Thai veteran Liam Harrison as his opponent. But Unfortunately, Harrison could not take the fight due to an injury. To save the scheduled date and venue, Mayweather came up with an interesting name, Aaron Chalmers. The ‘Geordie Shore’ star has fighting experience but he made a name for himself through reality TV Shows.

When Chalmers received the call, he was wise enough to answer it. The 35-year-old knows well that this is an opportunity of a lifetime. In an interview with Sun Sport, the Newcastle native stated that he has never dreamed of facing Mayweather ever. For him, this is going to be the biggest moment of his life.

What did Chalmers say about fighting Mayweather?

Chalmers, who surfed through various professions in life has once worked on Oil rigs. Remembering that, he made crazy revelations. He said, “If someone had told me ten years ago, ‘Put a bet on that you’re going to fight Floyd Mayweather’ I would’ve been like, ‘No chance.’ It hasn’t sunk in, I’m going, to be honest with you. It still hasn’t sunk in that it’s happening. But it is happening and hopefully, it’s going to do me wonders for my fight career.”
