Tommy Fury is set to collide with 2017 World’s Strongest Man winner Eddie Hall in a blockbuster summer fight that nobody saw coming, talkSPORT understands.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The pair will headline a Misfits Boxing event at Manchester’s AO Arena on June 13, live on DAZN PPV.<\/p>\n

Hall has not competed in the squared circle since a unanimous decision defeat to strongman rival Hafthor Bjornsson in March 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since then, the 38-year-old has turned his hand to MMA.<\/p>\n

He beat Tunisian TikTok stars The Neffati Brothers in a 2vs1 bout<\/a> in June 2024, before making his professional debut against five-time World’s Strongest Man winner Mariusz Pudzianowski last April.<\/p>\n

Hall knocked out the 28-fight (17-10-0-1) veteran in 27 seconds<\/a> and was expected to face Dillon Danis in MMA next.<\/a><\/p>\n

However, he is now set to lock horns with Tyson Fury<\/a>‘s half-brother.<\/p>\n

The former Love Island star had a big 2023, beating Jake Paul<\/a> and KSI<\/a> on points.<\/p>\n

But his momentum was slowed by a lingering hand injury.<\/p>\n

After undergoing successful surgery, he returned to the ring last May to beat Bosnian boxer Kenan Hanjalic via unanimous decision to extend his unbeaten record to 11-0.<\/p>\n

Fury, who previously competed at light heavyweight (175lbs) and cruiserweight (200lbs), is set to make his heavyweight (200lbs-plus) debut against the considerably bigger Hall.<\/p>\n

‘The Beast’ weighed 443lbs during his strongman days, but has shed a lot of weight since transitioning to combat sports.<\/p>\n

For his last bout against Pudzianowski, he tipped the scales at 334lbs and is likely to weigh over 100lbs more than Fury on the night of their fight.<\/p>\n

Hall was at Darren Till’s Gorilla Promotions in Birmingham on Sunday, where he hinted at an imminent announcement.<\/p>\n

“I’ve got a fight coming up on June 13 in Manchester that’ll be announced very, very soon,” he said.<\/p>\n

“I want to get in there, of course [as soon as possible].<\/p>\n

“I’ve got a big fight coming up. It will be on Misfits…<\/p>\n

“I’ve been told the\u00a0Dillon Danis<\/a>\u00a0fight will happen before the end of the year, so let’s make it happen.”<\/p>\n

Hall had previously ruled out the possibility of returning to boxing after his defeat to Bjornsson, but he will don the 10z gloves once again in June.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tommy Fury is set to collide with 2017 World’s Strongest Man winner Eddie Hall in a blockbuster summer…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":850675,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[4108],"tags":[1935,4496,7555,28362,79,7127,16,15,24848],"class_list":["post-850674","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-boxing-news","tag-date","tag-eddie-hall","tag-sports","tag-tommy-fury","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-venue"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116293255436922781","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/850674","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=850674"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/850674\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/850675"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=850674"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=850674"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=850674"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
