Floyd 'Money' Mayweather Jr is set to fight Aaron Chalmers in an exhibition bout next month.
The 45-year-old boxing legend - who has fought five exhibitions to date, including a recent clash with YouTuber Deji Olatunji in November 2022 - will face off with the 'Geordie Shore' star on February 25 at London's O2 Arena.
He was initially lined up for a fight with Muay Thai fighter Liam Harrison until a knee injury scuppered plans for the bout.
In a statement, Mayweather said: "I was originally supposed to face a different opponent, but injuries happen and I'm glad that Aaron Chalmers could step up so that we could give the fans what they want.
"The fans in the UK have always been great to me and supported me throughout my career, so an event like this has been a long time coming. I'm excited to add more history to the O2 Arena in London."
Chalmers - who boasts a pro MMA record of 5-2 - added: "I've been training with Adam Booth in the boxing gym and I'm eager to make a name for myself in the boxing world.
"I jumped on this opportunity immediately. It's an honour to share the ring with one of the greatest fighters of all time and I'm definitely going to take advantage of it."
