Since starting his boxing journey, Chalmers has partnered up with Adam Booth, who has coached world champions David Haye and George Groves.
The former Geordie Shore star signed a promotional deal with Boxxer earlier this year as he was expected to make his debut on April 2. However, he was forced to pull out after being rushed to a hospital for an emergency operation. The athlete suffered a blood clot in his nose during a training session.
Chalmers will now make his debut inside the ropes next month at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool.
The former MMA fighter was speaking to Seconds Out, where he was asked why he made the switch to boxing, to which he replied:
Chalmers then added:
It’s been two years since the star turned his back on MMA, following his defeat to Austin Clem in 2020. ‘The Joker’ competed in Bellator and held a record of 5-2.

Aaron Chalmers and Adam Booth partnership
Aaron Chalmers has acquired the services of one of the highest regarded boxing coaches in England. Adam Booth has guided the likes of David Haye and George Groves to world pedigree levels.
For somebody making their boxing debut and gaining the profile of Booth as their trainer is a serious achievement in itself.
Chalmers secured the experienced coach through his good friend Josh Kelly, who is one of Booth’s fighters. The Newcastle native has revealed that he passed a joking comment to ‘PBK’ in a message but then received a phone call from Kelly telling him to come to the gym.
Since then, Booth has observed Chalmers’ ability and made him spend six weeks purely focusing on how to throw the correct jab. The former Geordie Shore star will have full support in his corner with the guidence of Adam Booth.
