AARON CHALMERS has rescheduled his professional boxing debut to June 17 in Liverpool.
The Geordie Shore star was set to fight in April but suffered a broken nose, meaning his switch from MMA to boxing faced a delay.
But Chalmers is now due to enter the ring for the first time at the M&S Bank Arena, which will be televised for free on Channel 5.
He said: “I feel like my debut has been a long time coming now and what better place to have it than in Liverpool, it’s always a cracking atmosphere there.
“I can’t wait to put on a show and get my boxing career rolling.”
Chalmers left the cage with a 5-2 record, having fought four times for US promotion Bellator.

And after spending a year and a half learning the craft with esteemed boxing coach Adam Booth, he was ready lace up the gloves.
But Chalmers announced he broke his nose in March and was unable to fight.
The reality TV favourite had signed with Sky Sports and promotional banner Boxxer to debut in the middleweight division.
But his debut will instead fall with Wasserman on terrestrial TV.

Promoter Kalle Sauerland said: “We’re very excited to have the big-hitting Geordie Shore star on board.
“He’s been fine-tuning his skills in boxing around some of the best in the game.
“If he wants to go down this path then there’s no better environment to do that, and certainly no better platform than in Liverpool on June 17 to prove his potential and show what he has learnt under one of the best in the business, Adam Booth.”
