Eddie Hall expects to outweigh Tommy Fury by 130 pounds in boxing match, badly wants Francis Ngannou fight
The former World's Strongest Man still has big plans for his fighting future, starting with boxing Tommy Fury on June 13.
Few sights in combat sports scream "freak-show spectacle" like an Eddie Hall fight. Luckily for fans, the former World's Strongest Man still has a handful left in the tank, starting with his June boxing match against Tommy Fury. Hall is set to return to action under the Misfits Boxing banner June 13 in Manchester, England, competing for the first time since his MMA win over Mariusz Pudzianowski in KSW last April .
Hall, 38, hasn't boxed since 2022, when he lost a unanimous decision against "The Mountain," Hafþór Björnsson. Hall appeared on Tuesday's edition of "The Ariel Helwani Show" to share more details of the upcoming openweight match. Rounds and time are still to be decided, said Hall, but he expects the match to consist of six two-minute rounds, with each man wearing 12-ounce gloves.
As for the weight difference between him and Fury, Hall can't see his opponent adding much mass in the coming months. "I'm just under 350 pounds. If I come in at like 335, that will probably be my lowest.
Probably 340," Hall told Uncrowned. "Honestly, if [Fury] comes in at 210, I'd be surprised. I think 205, 210 max.
