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.

A month from the long -awaited return of Ryan Garcia to the ring, he was at the end of the verbal dam from Claress Shields.
In the past, Garcia and Shields returned on social media, and the last comments of the woman from Michigan will not be doubtful that tension will intensify.
“King Ry” takes Rolando Romero At Times Square on May 2, in what will be his first fight after a one -year drug ban.
The 25-year-old obtained a positive result about the forbidden substance of Ostarin after his stunning victory over Devin Haney, as a result of which he was not considered a lack of conta.
And Shields still clearly contains a injury to a failed Garcia test, as well as some of the comments he did around Haney, meaning him “drug fraud” in an interview with Fight Hub tv.
“I hope roll [Romero] He catches Ryan and pulls out his damn lights.
“Ryan is a drug fraud and knows that he betrayed. And the world repeats:” Oh, devin has not left the hook. ” He was hit by a steroid hook.
“Ryan [is a] No man’s respect. He is dismissive and everyone gives him a pass. “Oh, he is doing better and went to rehabilitation.”

“He said the word n, he said that my dad raped me and all things. I don’t respect it.
“[There] It was still not an apology from him. I don’t care how drunk or statuesque, it is not acceptable. “
Garcia recently admitted that he was struggling with alcohol addiction before and after the fight with Haney in April last year and every year crosses a completely different behavior.
“The Dream” will fight Jose Ramirez as the main support in Fresh York next month, and behind two bitter rivals there is a giant rematch between two bitter rivals – provided that both winners.
Shields itself was temporarily suspended at the beginning of this year after the positive marijuana test returned after winning with Danielle Perkins in February, but this was raised by the unarmed combat commission of Michigan within a few weeks.
