Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather is back in action tonight as he faces reality TV star Aaron Chalmers in his latest exhibition fight.
Mayweather, who turned 46 yesterday, has been on an exhibition tour since retiring from boxing five years ago with a flawless record of 50-0. 'Money' took part in three exhibition fights last year as he beat up former sparring partner Don Moore in May before stopping MMA fighter Mikuru Asukara in September and YouTuber Deji in November.
Chalmers is mostly known for his time on MTV's Geordie Show but has combat sports experience having competed in high-profile promotions such as Bellator MMA and Wasserman Boxing. Chalmers won his ring debut last June and will now step into the ring for just the second time against Mayweather, so here's all you need to know about tonight's fight...

Mayweather : "My job is to entertain and do what I do. I don’t have to have fast hands or feet. 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’ve got so much experience at the highest level. I’ve fought at the best events. I’ve seen everything but you can never overlook a guy or underestimate a guy. He believes in his skills and talent."
Chalmers : "I'd like to have fun with it as well but I'm going out there to disrespect the man. I'm not going to give anything away, I’m just excited. We’re here now, it’s been a whirlwind four weeks. I know his jab is unbelievable, can I handle that jab? You’ll find that out on Saturday. I’ve tried to be sharp and fit, I’ve got a nutritionist and there’s no stone unturned when facing Floyd."
