Aaron Chalmers - a Geordie Shore fan-favourite - switched reality TV for sport in 2017.
His career peak even saw him fight boxing legend Floyd Mayweather back in February 2023 in an exhibition fight at London's O2 Arena.
He has a strong boxing record, with 7 MMA fights with a record of 5 wins and 2 defeats following his debut in 2017.
Last year, he switched from MMA to professional boxing yet his stint in the ring is now short-lived.

"Can’t thank every 1 enough who’s been on the journey especially @lorduche_ who got me into the first fight on 5 weeks notice and also the @floydmayweather fight and all the other mad things together but all good things have to end and for me this is the right time to leave boxing behind!!

Aaron has dabbled in a variety of careers off-screen and started out as a scaffolder before leaving aged 26.
He previously told SunSport: “I used to stand there, obviously because it was on the water, I used to stand looking into the middle of the sea and think, ‘There’s got to be something better for me, there has to be something different.’
“I couldn’t see myself doing it for the rest of my life, on the oil rigs, but I never f*****g thought it would lead to this."
He then spent four years partying in the Geordie Shore house before switching careers and starting a family.
He was cleared of harassing his ex Talia Oatway earlier this year and is clearly eager for a new chapter
