A rivalry has been born between the pair, largely down to Fury’s father JohnCredit: Getty<\/p>\n

The pair bring huge commercial star power to the Misfits Boxing event, which was an unlikely match-up which shocked the social media world.<\/p>\n

Hall had explained how a feud with Fury’s father John<\/a> had initially sparked the clash.<\/p>\n

And now the head of the Fury dynasty has explained what he said to the strongman on the phone.<\/p>\n

He told Fred Talks Fighting: “You’ve got to give Eddie Hall props, because he isn’t a fighter and he knows what could happen to him.<\/p>\n

“Tommy and Eddie get on well, but I can blame myself for ruining that friendship.<\/p>\n

“They used to get on well together, but then he started getting sarcastic.<\/p>\n

“I’m not afraid of nobody. I said to him ‘don’t insult my son, because if you do I’ll punch you straight into the mouth’.<\/p>\n

“And he started saying ‘I can do this and I can do that to him and Tyson’.<\/p>\n

“I said you can do f*** all my old pal. When you are talking about world champions, it’s boxing, you can’t do nothing.<\/p>\n

“No disrespect to them, what have they got cardio wise? Nothing.”<\/p>\n

Fury Sr could well explode on fight week as has become accustomed if Hall trades verbal barbs.<\/p>\n

Hall on Fury – I’m ready to cause an upset<\/p>\n

For now, Hall has been in training camp for just his second ever boxing fight.<\/p>\n

He is eyeing what would be a seismic upset, and has been making changes<\/a> in camp to try and get over the line.<\/p>\n

The giant explained to talkSPORT.com: “It will be a lot different to that fight.<\/p>\n

“I went into the Thor fight while throwing nothing but right hands, because I couldn’t throw my left hand.<\/p>\n

“So yeah, I’m an orthodox fighter and you won’t see the southpaw stance because my arm is fixed this time.<\/p>\n
