AARON CHALMERS will make his professional boxing debut on April 2 in his hometown of Newcastle.
The ex-Geordie Shore star recently confirmed his switch from MMA to professional boxing, signing for promotional company Boxxer and Sky Sports.

The former Geordie Shore star is swapping the MMA cage for the boxing ring
He left the cage with a 5-2 record, last fighting in February 2020, and he told SunSport how he was almost ready to hang up his gloves afterwards.
Now the hugely-popular 34-year-old reality TV star is officially swapping the cage for the ring in just a matter of weeks, debuting on the undercard of Savannah Marshall’s WBO middleweight world title defence against Femke Hermans.
His opponent is yet to be confirmed.
The show was previously scheduled for March and will see the Hartlepool-born Marshall take on the Belgian former world champion at Newcastle Arena.
Welterweight Florian Marku and heavyweight Nathan Gorman, returning to the ring after over a year out, will also be in action.
Chalmers recently revealed his hopes to fight Tyson Fury’s younger brother Tommy in the future as well as eyeing a clash with YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul.
He said: “I don’t know Tommy, but I know he probably gets as much stick as I do.
“So maybe that’s something we can look at down the line.
“He’s a big lad, stuff like that, it interests us, because it’s a challenge, it’s a big fight, maybe not for so-called ‘boxing fans’.
“But I’ll bring Geordie Shore fans to the boxing, which is not a bad thing.”
