Eddie Hall has been pushing himself to the limit ahead of his return to boxing.
The 2017 World’s Strongest Man will contest a wild bout against Tommy Fury under the Misfits Boxing banner on June 13.
Fury vs Hall headlines a well-shaped Manchester card that also features two-time Olympic Taekwondo gold medallist Jade Jones.
The fight, which has a weight disparity of a whopping 130lbs, will be contested over six two-minute rounds.
Hall has told talkSPORT.com that his second boxing fight ‘will be a lot different’ to that of his debut against strongman rival Thor Bjornsson in 2022.
The 38-year-old is leaving no stone unturned for the clash, which he sees ending with Fury flat on his back staring up at the lights.
Hall has already shared rounds with British heavyweight boxer Johnny Fisher in preparation to fight the half-brother of Tyson Fury, and continues to mix up his sparring as the end of camp nears.
Hall trades blows with Lucas Roehrig
This week, Hall posted a clip on social media of him sharing ‘great rounds’ with undefeated pugilist and fellow Briton Lucas Roehrig.
“Thanks for taking it easy on me,” Hall joked in the caption of the sparring clip.
Cruiserweight prospect Roehrig is trained and managed by former world champion George Groves, with both emerging through the Dale Youth Amateur Boxing Club.
Roehrig is on the front foot for most of the session, while Hall attempts to catch his sparring opponent off guard with bursts of thunderous blows.
Hall attempts to use his jab to keep Roehrig at bay, but is caught by some nasty shots and can be heard wincing when he is whacked square on the liver.
By the end, the former World’s Strongest Man is propped up against the ropes, breathing heavily after what seemed to be a gruelling session.
How Fury vs Hall came about
Speaking to Jim White and Simon Jordan on talkSPORT last month, Hall explained that the fight with Fury came together after he rubbed up his opponent’s dad, John Fury, the wrong way.
Hall had tried to lure Tyson into an MMA bout, claiming he would have no worries against ‘The Gypsy King’ in the cage, leaving John not best pleased by his efforts.
“It just escalated from there, really,” Hall said.
“Before I know it, we’re having arguments online, messaging each other and I’ve got a contract to fight Tommy Fury.”
He confirmed there are no weight constraints or limits for the fight and he can tip the scales as heavy as he wants.
Hall will, obviously, have the size advantage on fight night, but the big question will be whether he can match Fury’s pace and speed.
“That’s what makes this exciting,” Hall added when that question was put to him.
“You’ve got a guy who’s huge, got the strength, definitely got the power.
“Is the size going to overcome that skill? Obviously, it’s so important when it comes to fighting, but skill only takes you so far when the opponent is so much bigger than you.”
