Eddie Hall vs. Francis Ngannou could absolutely happen, according to Hall.

Eddie Hall believes he could be on a collision course with Francis Ngannou. The one-time World’s Strongest Man champion has transitioned nicely into the combat sports world, becoming one of the most interesting draws in the fighting community. Hall is currently set to face Tommy Fury at a Misfits Boxing event on June 13.

Hall opened a lot of eyes with a 30-second knockout of Mariusz Pudzianowski at KSW 105 this past April in his MMA debut. And when his career winds down, he wants to do his best work in the world of MMA. “So, end goal, I guess, is to obviously have those big, entertaining fights,” Hall told Uncrowned .

“I do want to go out with a bang. Obviously, I’ll do boxing, but I really love the MMA. I thoroughly enjoy the MMA.

I quite fancy putting my hands up right at the end and taking a title shot — like a European title or a world title — and just, win, draw or lose, go in and give it a shot. “Let’s just go in for a big title. And that would be my win, draw, lose, and done.
