Former Love Island participant Jack Fincham: why he became a boxer.

The start of Jack Fincham's boxing career

According to The Sun: Jack Fincham decided to take up boxing after failures in football, but over time he gained popularity on television.

Fincham started at Eltham & District club but ended his sporting career at the age of 16.

True popularity came to him in 2019 when he and his ex-girlfriend Dani Dyer won the show 'Love Island', which became the beginning of his career in reality television.

Boxing match with Aaron Chalmers

On Saturday, Fincham will face Aaron Chalmers, known from Geordie Shore, in a bare-knuckle fight. He assures that he is not a typical 'known boxer.'

He emphasized on talkSPORT:

“Due to Misfits and similar influential fights, everyone categorizes me in one way or another, but I can't fit in there.”

Fincham has had two professional fights in Dubai and considers himself a fighter much longer than since he appeared on television.

He shared that he started boxing due to failures in football:

“My younger brother and I were so hopeless at football that we lost 20-0 every week! My mom said: ‘I can’t watch this anymore. I need to take you to the boxing gym!’”

Chalmers, 38, gained popularity on the show Geordie Shore and has also participated in MMA since 2017, winning five out of seven fights. He is currently actively training in boxing and has already had five fights in professional sports.

Expectations, concerns, and training

Fincham emphasizes that his training is taking place under the watchful eye of top coaches and he is preparing seriously for this fight. He is confident that his basic boxing skills will be his advantage.

Fincham believes that this confrontation will be an important step in his career and states:

“When I get this win, it will prove that I am really a true boxer.”

The Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, under the patronage of Conor McGregor, will become a platform where Fincham hopes to showcase his skills.

The fight between Jack Fincham and Aaron Chalmers promises to be a significant event for both fighters. They both have experience on television, which draws additional attention to their confrontation. Fincham is trying to cement his place in the boxing world, while Chalmers will have the opportunity to showcase his skills in a new context, as both fighters seek to blur the lines between reality and sport.
