Ex-Love Island Participant vs Geordie Shore Star: Bare-Knuckle Brawl in Manchester.

According to The Sun: Aaron Chalmers and Jack Fincham will meet in an exciting bare-knuckle boxing match at BKFC 81, taking place at the AO Arena in Manchester.

34-year-old Jack Fincham is making his BKFC debut against Chalmers. He rose to fame winning Love Island in 2018 alongside his former partner, Dani Dyer.

Chalmers left Geordie Shore in 2017 after three years to pursue MMA, where his professional record was 5-2. In February 2021, he announced his retirement from MMA and transitioned to boxing, securing a victory over Alexander Zeleldon in June 2022.

During his career, he managed to have five fights, including a bout with boxing legend Floyd Mayweather at the O2 Arena. However, due to a lack of offers and personal struggles, Chalmers decided to hang up his boxing gloves in September 2024. As a result, he became a participant in the bare-knuckle boxing championship and won his debut fight against Chas Simmonds by technical knockout earlier this April.

38-year-old Fincham will try to stop Chalmers in his new venture, as he has managed to land roles in projects such as Blood Squad and The Last Heist, and is currently filming a secret project in Germany.

Jack also had an exhibition fight with Anthony Taylor in 2022, which had no official winner. This year, he narrowly avoided prison after being arrested while serving a suspended sentence.
