Eddie Hall Wants MMA Fight Against Jake and Logan Paul

Eddie Hall, the winner of the World`s Strongest Man competition, has challenged Jake and Logan Paul to a 2-on-1 MMA `freak fight`.

Hall, a former strongman, entered the world of MMA last summer in a peculiar match against the Neffati Brothers, where he significantly outweighed both opponents combined. He is now preparing for a more conventional KSW fight against Mariusz Pudzianowski, another former World’s Strongest Man champion and experienced fighter.

While Hall doesn`t intend to pursue a full-time fighting career after his strongman years, he is interested in participating in high-profile fights. A 2-on-1 match against the controversial Paul brothers, who transitioned from YouTube to boxing, would undoubtedly be a massive event.

Hall Proposes 2v1 ‘Freak Fight’ with the Paul Brothers

Eddie Hall, expected to weigh around 155kg (341lb) for his upcoming fight with Pudzianowski, is a truly massive individual. Even Jake Paul`s considerable 227lb weight for his fight against Mike Tyson, and Logan Paul`s sub-200lb weigh-in for his last fight, are dwarfed by Hall`s size.

Although Hall is committed to KSW fights, his contracts allow for participation in other 2-on-1 matches. He is seeking a significant challenge and believes taking on the Paul brothers, with their boxing and wrestling backgrounds, would be it.

In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani on the Uncrowned network, Hall stated his desire to face Jake and Logan Paul in a cage match. He confidently asserted he would dominate them, mentioning a powerbomb and a knockout punch.

Jake Paul`s Boxing Career and Potential Opponents

While Logan Paul is currently focused on WWE, Jake Paul is searching for his next opponent after his high-profile victory over Mike Tyson. Their fight on Netflix broke streaming records and even caused temporary service disruptions, making his next fight a highly anticipated event.

Paul had been in discussions for a fight with Canelo Alvarez, but Alvarez ultimately signed a multi-fight deal that included a fight with Terence Crawford. An exhibition fight with Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis was also considered but became unlikely after Davis`s draw with Lamont Roach Jr. Paul is currently signed with the PFL for MMA and might be interested in a fight against Eddie Hall.
