Following his dominant 30-second knockout win over Mariusz Pudzianowski in his mixed martial arts debut at KSW 150, strongman Eddie Hall has named the opponent he hopes to face next.
Immediately after securing the victory, `The Beast` initially proposed an immediate rematch with the 48-year-old strongman Pudzianowski. However, the five-time World’s Strongest Man hinted at potential retirement both before and after suffering his third consecutive knockout loss.
Eddie Hall targets Dillon Danis for next fight
Earlier this week, Eddie Hall took to Instagram to express his gratitude towards the coaches who helped him prepare for his first professional MMA bout. In the same social media post, the 37-year-old unexpectedly issued a challenge to controversial MMA figure Dillon Danis. Hall specifically suggested that the potential crossover fight be organized under the Misfits Boxing banner, which is promoted by YouTuber and boxer KSI.
In his post, Hall wrote: “If you get a good coach you’re lucky, if you get two good coaches you’re blessed… Big thanks to Gee & Jake Oaks @oakesy_j for training me this last year all in prep to fight Mariusz… They studied every move and made sure I was ready for all circumstances’ mainly for the floor game Jiu Jitsu which I didn’t get to display much at the weekend but I was ready to wrestle that’s for sure. Thank you gents, I’m forever grateful and have two pals for life.”
He concluded his message with a direct call-out to Danis and Misfits Boxing: “Dillon Danis next. Sort it out, Misfits. Big Love. The Beast”
