The MF & DAZN: X Series returns to the U.K. when reality TV stars Idris Virgo and Aaron Chalmers face off for bragging rights.
MF & DAZN: X Series 9 takes place at Vertu Motors Arena in Newcastle on September 23. The event will air on DAZN worldwide and is part of a KSI and DAZN partnership that showcases the biggest global names in entertainment, sports, and lifestyle competing against one another.
Virgo turned pro in 2018 and has two wins via knockout. The former Love Island star last fought at the pro level in 2021, beating Adam Trenado via TKO. Joining the YouTube Boxing brand in January 2023, "The Bodybreaker” beat Anthony Taylor via a unanimous decision scoring. He’s now ready to prove he can be a boxer as well as an influencer.
"I said it would be the first or the third round - I don't see it going the distance,” Virgo told Chronicle Live. “I don't think he will keep up with the pace, the power, my strength...I just don't think he will last. I'll be surprised if he gets through the first round.”

In February 2023, he faced Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition and lasted the distance against the Hall of Famer. His most recent bout saw him post a win over Kiefer Crosbie in July.
