Eddie Hall expects a significant weight advantage when he faces Tommy Fury on June 13 in Manchester, and after this fight his ideal plan is to face Francis Ngannou.
In the interview, Hall revealed he could outweigh Fury by around 130 pounds on fight night. “I'm just under 350 pounds. If I come in at like 335, that will probably be my lowest. Probably 340,” he said. “Honestly, if [Fury] comes in at 210, I'd be surprised. I think 205, 210 max.”
The bout, promoted by Misfits Boxing, is expected to take place over six two-minute rounds, though final details are still being confirmed. The matchup follows Hall’s previous combat sports appearances, including his boxing loss to Hafthor Bjornsson and an MMA win over Mariusz Pudzianowski.
Hall explained that the fight came together after an encounter with Fury’s father, John Fury. “It was Tommy's dad, to be frank… I basically said, ‘Look, I'll fing slap any of you fers all over the place.’ Then I had a contract to fight Tommy.”
Beyond the Fury bout, Hall has expressed interest in facing elite opposition, naming Francis Ngannou as a desired opponent. “There's people like Francis Ngannou, who are just the biggest, scariest bastards on the planet. Just a big, big fight like that,” he said.
“I'd train my bollocks off for it, and that would be the last one for me. Win, draw or lose. I just want to go up against the biggest, baddest person I can get up against.”
