Mayweather Jr faced Aaron in his sixth exhibition game yesterday, Saturday, February 25, in London’s O2 Arena which was also Money’s first fight in the United Kingdom.
Although there was no official declaration of a winner, it was evident that Floyd outclassed his British opponent from Newcastle throughout the fight’s eight rounds. Chalmers (1-0 in boxing, 5-2 in MMA) stayed sharp and vigilant but was almost clueless in front of Floyd’s boxing prowess.

Floyd right after his first-ever fight in the UK expressed his gratitude towards the organizers and praised his opponent in the post-fight press conference. However, according to the retired boxing legend, it was all about entertaining people, and having fun for eight rounds.
“Chalmers is tough as nails. I have a lot of experience. He has to continue to work hard and believe in his team, himself, and his skills because he has a tough chin and is a tough competitor. Anything is possible if he works hard.” Mayweather said while praising Chalmers.

After defeating Conor McGregor in 2017 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, the Pretty Boy’s professional career came to an end.
However, Floyd continued to stay involved with boxing even after his retirement by taking part in a number of exhibition matches. Aaron Chalmers was his sixth exhibition fight.
“I would like to thank all of the fans in the UK. The United Kingdom is unbelievable. The fans are unbelievable. The UK is becoming the Mecca of boxing. If the fans want me to come back to the UK, I’ll come back.” Floyd Mayweather further added.
