Eddie Hall expects to outweigh Tommy Fury by 130lb for Misfits Boxing fight
Photo by James Baylis - AMA/Getty Images Eddie Hall plans to enter his fight against Tommy Fury at a weight similar to his MMA debut, though Fury has never fought anywhere near that size. Hall dropped down to 315lb for his 2022 boxing match with Hafthor Bjornsson. He was heavier three years later when he took on Mariusz Pudzianowski in KSW, weighing in at 335lb before knocking him out in the first round.
Now he’s set for a return to the ring with a Misfits Boxing event on June 13 against Tommy Fury. The two had been friendly for years, but a falling out with John Fury seems to have played a part in making this match happen at the AO Arena. Eddie Hall highlights huge weight gap ahead of Misfits Boxing bout with Tommy Fury Photo by James Chance/Getty Images On the latest episode of The Ariel Helwani Show, Eddie Hall addressed the size difference that will be on display when he faces Tommy Fury.
Fury, who once weighed in as low as 178lb early in his career, had ambitions to fight at light-heavyweight before moving up in weight. These days, the former Love Island star and unbeaten boxer is well over 200lb, having last fought at 208lb. Hall, on the other hand, once weighed more than 434lb during his strongman days but has since dropped over 100lb to prepare for this fight.
When asked about the expected weight difference between them, Hall said: “I’m 157kg now, so just under 350lb. If I come in at 335lb that would probably be my lowest, it’ll probably be 340lb… Honestly, if he comes in at 210lb I’d be surprised. I think 205lb to 210lb max.
” The two first connected back in April of last year when they filmed a YouTube video together not long after Fury’s win over Jake Paul. During that session, a body shot from Fury put Hall on notice during one of their challenges while a punch from Hall to Fury’s arm had a similar effect.
