AARON CHAMPERS can have a life-changing fight with celebrities from YouTube and reality TV.
Chalmers now confirms his switch from MMA and professional boxing by signing for Sky Sports and Boxxer Promotions.
This is the latest chapter of his prizefighting career that began in 2017 with a MMA debut. He will continue to fight in the ring.
However, Chalmers nearly began his boxing career against Tommy Fury, a fellow influencer.
Fury, 22, was verbally willing to face him. He is overweight at 14st and has never boxed before.
The boxing genius put an end to this after meeting Adam Booth, a trainer in the days that followed, and sharing his plans.
SunSport spoke with Chalmers, 34: "I met Adam one week later and he said, ‘No chance’. It wasn't in my favor at all."
Chalmers spent 17 months in the care of Booth, who famously guided David Haye to a heavyweight title around the world.

Chalmers headlined MMA shows in his hometown of Newcastle, as well as London and Dublin, with the support of his Geordie Shore fans.
Talks with Fury, the brother of Tyson's heavyweight champion, could be a way to bring boxing to a new audience.
Chalmers stated: "I don’t know Tommy but I know that he probably gets as many sticks as I get."
"So maybe that's something you can look into down the road. It's interesting to us that he's such a big boy.
"Because it is a challenge, it will be a big fight.
"But I'll bring Geordie Shore supporters to the boxing. Which is not a bad idea."
Chalmers is surrounded in Booth's Surrey-based gym by Liam Williams, 29, Josh Kelly, 27, and Michael Conlan, 30.
He lives near, but he has to spend one weekend a fortnight home with Talia, his partner and their three children.
It offers Chalmers the ultimate reward, however, with YouTuber Jake Paul (25), bringing millions to any opponent he faces.
He stated, "The sacrifices were made to know what was coming. I'm now looking at the progress of boxing."
"Obviously, you have your Jake Pauls and all the rest, going down that road. My family is covered for any fights that may arise.
"I don't pretend to be chasing this from the beginning, but I do know that with the right noises made, something similar could happen.
"The sacrifices would have been worth it as I wouldn't have to work again for a single day."
BJ Flores, Paul's coach, is a friend of Chalmers manager Booth. This makes it easier to negotiate.
Jack Fincham (30), Love Island winner, is another celebrity with a boxing background. He wants to return to the ring.
However, despite the lucrative bouts available to Chalmers, a prestigious domestic title, such as the British or English titles, could prove just as rewarding.
Chalmers stated: "By all measures, Adam and I thought that in two or three year's time, I would be ready. Then 100 percent I would not hesitate to try to earn a belt.
"I would love to retire with an English or British title for someone who started boxing when I was 33 years old."
"That is a huge, major step for me, but we'll just have to wait and see. You also have Jack Fincham and other boxers we can view.
"I'm excited, it's so great that it's been made public."
