Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather will return to the ring for his latest exhibition venture next weekend as he faces reality TV star Aaron Chalmers.
Since retiring from boxing five years ago with a flawless record of 50-0, Mayweather has been on an exhibition tour in Japan, Dubai and the US. The 45-year-old was last in action in November as he stopped YouTuber Deji having previously fought MMA fighter Mikuru Asukara and former sparring partner Don Moore earlier that year.
Chalmers, who is mostly known for his time on MTV's Geordie Show, won his professional boxing debut last June after putting together an MMA record of 5-2. 'The Joker' will now step into the ring for just the second time against Mayweather and here's all you need to know about their fight...

Floyd Mayweather: “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. 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.”
Aaron Chalmers: "I'm doing all the press, I'm doing all of the media, I'm doing all of the call-out videos while Floyd is walking around buying pink Birkin f****ng handbags .So while he's buying handbags, I'm doing everything, literally everything. He's walking around with 30 security guards so all I'm going to say is this time next week, 50-1."
