Aaron Chalmers revealed that a bare abandoning boxed saved him from the “slippery slope” of alcohol caused by personal fights. The 37-year-old star Geordie Shore is to debut at Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship on Saturday in Dubai, where she will face experienced warriors Chasa Symonds.
However, only a year ago Chalmers struggled with alcohol after a series of personal problems. In an exclusive interview for Mirror fight Before my debut, BKFC Chalmers said: “So I’m right. I had a little slippery slope. 2023 was a good year, I had four fights, I was quite vigorous, I fought Floyd [Mayweather Jr]. I had a bad knee injury, but I still had three fights.
“Everything went in the right direction, and then after my last fight in November – a few days later my cousin died, who was literally my best partner, my brother. He died and I just went to slippery slope. I started drinking damn, really bad. Drinking badly.
“And then, leading to 2024, my son … When I tried to go back to a elementary and narrow, my son went to the hospital. It was supposed to be a routine head surgery, and he was in a coma, and he was in Liverpool, fighting for his life for eight weeks, and I just couldn’t deal with it.”
“I just drank, the only way to cope with the loss of my cousin, and then I drank a few months later. It came to August, I was still in the abyss, I did nothing. I was in the abyss. I tried to go to the gym, and then I reached the weekend and drank. I had explosions.”

Chalmers opened himself to his emotional confusion after losing his cousin, Courtney Clift, whom he considered his best friend. In November 2023, he commemorated Courtney’s memory with a touching Instagram post, sharing in his life a “great hole”.
In addition, he revealed the fights before which his youngest son, Oakley, three, born with Apert’s syndrome – a scarce genetic condition affecting the skull, face, hands and feet. In the fight against the tough time with alcohol, Chalmers told how the unexpected message from BKFC provided him with the motivation he needed to return to the gym and give up drinking for good.
He explained: “In August I got a message [BKFC UK president] Andrew Bakewell. BKFC said, “We would like to talk, so I think it was Andrew first and then contacted me with David [Feldman]. So David, Fienetim, thought: “We would like to have you and blah, blah, blah.”
“He thought,” Yes, we’ll get something ordered, “then a few weeks passed, so I just forgot about it. So I hit the drink again and called me and said: “Right Aaron, let’s do it.” I called me, I offered me three in September. And it was a turning point, I didn’t have a drink since I signed the contract.
“I think I just needed something that pulled me out of a shadowy place, and of course it was a naked cube. It was not an basic way, we had a few fights … for example” I fight this date, it is not, I fight this date. ” But I always think that these things happen because of and here we are.
“We are on a huge, huge weekend in Dubai. But I would like to thank David and Andrzew and BKFC, because if they did not get out at that time, the fuck, who knows where I would be. I was in a slightly lost case – I had no boxing fights because I did not train, I did not make any satisfaction. I did not do any satisfaction. I did not do any satisfaction.

“They reached out, and as I say, I didn’t drink a drink since I signed this contract. So in a sense they put me back on straight and narrow. For me I am 37 years vintage. This is probably the last great chance on the gigantic stage. I had many chances over the years, but I think this is the last great chance.
“Of course, they have a huge partnership with Dazn, Conor McGregor. So I think it’s the last great shot in a great time, so I jerked my *** and I hope that I can show it on the night of fighting.”
Chalmers initially started his combat sports journey, still appearing at Geordie Shore, and the MTV program showed his move to Birmingham to train with the former UFC champion in Welterwight Leon Edwards in preparation for a debut in the field of mixed martial arts. After reaching the 3-0 record in Bamma, Chalmers moved to Bellator, improving his record to 5-2 before moving to the boxing world.

Geordie began a successful start in June 2022, winning points over Aleksander Zeledon, and then really impressed his trail in 2023. This year, Chalmers faced Mayweather Jr, Kiefer Crosbie, Warren Spencer and Idris Virgo.
Now the countryman from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne is seeking success with BKFC, with an experienced Symonds veteran, which has a 18-9 record in customary boxing-switching on him in the promotion. Speaking of your upcoming BKFC debut this weekend, Chalmers said: “He is very, very experienced. I don’t really know much about him.
“From what I saw, I know that this is a bit of a dog. Of course it will be my first fight in 18 months, so I am excited. Everyone says:” You have never been hit with bare cubes “and I think:” I was damn ING, I was kicked, I was a knee. “
“When you are there, you don’t really feel it. As I say, I’m sure I will feel it. Yes, we just prepare for the best – the strongest and the best I can be. But for him I try not to pay too much attention to what my opponent does, I just pay attention to what I do. We have a game plan.
Dillian Whyte is eager to fight Joseph Parker again.
In 2018, Whyte and Parker played 12 invigorating rounds, with both hitting the canvas.

“There are a lot of good fights and Joseph Parker is one of them,” the 38-year-old said Ring Magazine.
“I would love to fight Joseph Parker, I think it’s a really good fight.
“He has to come back, he has to be cleared or whatever. I don’t know the situation.
“So in the meantime I have to stay busy and fight my way back, so let’s see.
“I feel like I still have a little bit to give, so let’s see what we can do to finish the season on a high.
“I’m training now and I want to come back in May or June.
“Now it’s just a matter of training and seeing what comes out on this kind of date.”
The former world title challenger from Brixton has not fought since a crushing first-round knockout defeat to rising contender Moses Itauma last August in Riyad.
Former world champion Parker won six times on spin before being stopped in the 11th round against Wardley, losing the WBO interim title and a shot at unified champion Oleksandr Usyk.

“I’m just going through the process and practicing patience.
“We just have to be patient and learn from what they say happened.
“I know what happened and I handed over everything, so let’s see.”

“It would have put me in a really good position, so it really worried me.
“What was more disappointing to me was that they just canceled the entire show, but I understand it’s a business.”

David Benavidez is already looking to the future ahead of next week’s showdown with Zurdo Ramirez.
Benavidez challenges Zurdo for his unified WBO and WBA cruiserweight world titles next Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, live on DAZN pay-per-view.
“The Mexican Monster” is moving up from lightweight heavyweight, where he holds the WBC crown, in a bid to become a three-division world champion.
An undisputed 175-pound title fight with Dmitry Bivol has so far eluded the undefeated 29-year-old, but he insists he will return to the weight class after the Ramirez fight in an attempt to lure Bivol to fight him.
“My plan wasn’t just to abandon the lightweight heavyweight division,” Benavidez said Ariel Helwani show.
“My plan was this [to] come up, win two titles, come back and make this fight with me and Bivol even bigger.
“My dream is to become unified champion.
“It would be wise for me to go back downstairs.”
Bivol, the holder of the remaining IBF, WBA and WBO belts, will defend his IBF title against mandatory challenger Michael Eifert on May 30 in Russia.
The 35-year-old won the undisputed crown, among others revenge victory over Artur Beterbiev in his last appearance last February.
The Russian gave up the WBC belt, which Benavidez currently holds, in pursuit of a third meeting with Beterbiev, which ultimately did not take place.
Benavidez, who stopped Anthony Yarde in Riyad in November, is also hoping to fight former undisputed lightweight heavyweight champion Beterbiev, who hasn’t fought since his only professional loss to Bivol.
“After this fight [against Bivol] when I win the titles,” he added.
“I’m going to fight Beterbiev.
“I’m probably most excited about Beterbiev.
“These are two monsters heading on a collision course.
“Beterbiev was a bogeyman for a long, long, long time.
“Being the monster I am, I have to go in there and get rid of the bogeyman.”
