Eddie Hall has found himself in the ring with two influencers again, this time in another unusual 2 vs 1 boxing match.
Hall, who made his name as a Strongman competitor, has spent the last few years exploring different combat sports, including arm wrestling and boxing.
This past year, he finally stepped into an MMA cage, picking up a controversial win over Mariusz Pudzianowski after dedicating years to training for the sport.
Several months on from that fight, Hall’s latest move sees him back in another strange setup.
Eddie Hall takes on two influencers in unusual boxing bout
Following his quick success in MMA, it seemed inevitable that the 38-year-old would continue in the sport, and would potentially take on former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, who continues to look for a fight.
However, since then, there hasn’t been much news about Hall’s next move in combat sports. But he’s still finding ways to stay active and grab attention with some unusual ventures.
Just recently, a video made the rounds on social media showing Hall stepping into another two vs one boxing match against a pair of influencers.
This wasn’t new territory for Hall. Back in 2024, he knocked out two featherweights at once during what many called a ‘freak fight’.
But this latest fight didn’t go as smoothly as that one did. One of his opponents was Dean Alex (Dean.dodd online), who regularly takes on odd challenges set by his 750,000 followers.
The other was Kristen Hanby, whose prank videos have built him an audience of 8.2 million people online.
During the fight, Dodd took several knockdowns from Hall but also managed to land a few clean shots himself. Fortunately for both Dodd and Hanby, it was all light-hearted sparring rather than anything meant to cause real harm.
Is Eddie Hall planning another MMA fight?
It’s looking more and more likely that Hall will be back in the MMA cage before the end of the year.
However, with influencer boxing on the rise, there’s also a chance his next appearance could come back inside the ring rather than under MMA rules.
