Eddie Hall, winner of the World’s Strongest Man competition, has challenged Jake and Logan Paul to a 2-on-1 MMA ‘freak fight’. He has set his sights on these two well-known personalities.
Hall, previously known for his strongman achievements, entered the world of MMA last summer. His debut fight was against the Neffati Brothers, in a match where his weight was greater than both of his opponents combined. He is now preparing for a more serious KSW fight against Mariusz Pudzianowski, another former World’s Strongest Man champion.
While Hall is not planning a full-time MMA career after his long strongman journey, he is interested in participating in high-profile fights. A 2-on-1 match against the controversial YouTuber-turned-boxers, Logan and Jake Paul, would certainly be a major event.
Eddie Hall Wants to Face Jake and Logan Paul Together
Eddie Hall is expected to weigh around 155kg (341lb) for his upcoming fight with Pudzianowski. He is truly a massive individual. Even Jake Paul’s considerable weight of 227lb for his fight against Mike Tyson last year, and Logan Paul`s sub-200lb weight in his last fight, are significantly less than Hall’s.
Although Hall is committed to fighting in KSW, he is allowed to participate in other 2-on-1 fights. He is seeking a significant challenge, and facing the Paul brothers, who have experience in boxing and wrestling, fits that description.
In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani on the Uncrowned network, Hall stated, “Jake Paul and Logan Paul, I’d love to get them in a cage together… I think it would be completely one-sided, 100 per cent. I would beat them, powerbomb them, smack them straight across the jaw. That’s it.”
Jake Paul Was Expected to Fight Canelo Alvarez
While Logan Paul is focused on his WWE career, Jake Paul is searching for his next opponent after his victory over Tyson. Their fight on Netflix broke viewership records for boxing and even caused issues with the streaming service. Therefore, his next fight needs to be significant.
There had been discussions about a fight between Jake Paul and Canelo Alvarez for months, and they had been in talks with broadcasters. However, Canelo Alvarez ultimately chose a multi-fight deal with Turki Alalshikh, which includes a crossover fight with Terence Crawford in September.
There were also considerations for an exhibition fight with Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis, but after Davis`s draw with Lamont Roach Jr., this is now unlikely. Paul is currently signed with the PFL for his MMA career, and a fight against Hall could be something he considers.
