Aaron Chalmers, who took Floyd Mayweather the distance in an exhibition bout earlier this year, is back in action over the weekend as he clashes with Love Island star Idris Virgo.<\/p>\n
In February, Mayweather, 46, went all eight rounds with Chalmers at The O2 Arena in London. However, the reality TV star was outclassed by the American in every round of the un-scored bout.<\/p>\n
And Chalmers will step back into the ring on Saturday evening when he faces Virgo. Virgo currently boasts an impressive 13-0 record, and, like Chalmers, first rose to fame thanks to reality TV.<\/p>\n
