AARON CHALMERS has confirmed his switch from MMA to professional boxing.
Chalmers, who had a 5-2 cage record, has signed to fight on Sky Sports with promotional stable Boxxer.
The reality TV and Geordie Shore star will be managed by esteemed British coach Adam Booth.
Chalmers, 34, said: “I thoroughly enjoyed my time in MMA but I always knew that boxing was where I wanted to be.
“Now I’ve got the chance to fulfil that dream and over the next few years I’m going to give it my all.”
Chalmers fought for American promotion Bellator and had two knockouts in his seven-fight MMA career.
