Eddie Hall has offered Jake and Logan Paul a two-on-one fight in mixed martial arts. The former World's Strongest Man is currently gearing up for his second MMA fight against fellow weightlifter-turned-pugilist Mariusz Pudzianowski under the Polish KSW banner - which is being billed as the 'World's Strongest Fight'. But it appears as though the Englishman is already setting his sights on his next challenge.
In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, Hall said: " Jake Paul and Logan Paul , I’d love to get them in a cage together...
I think it would be very uneven, 100 per cent. Powerbomb, smack them straight across the jaw. That’s it.
" No stranger to strange fights, 341-pound Hall has already proven that he can take on numerous people at the same time - dispatching of Jamil and Jamel Neffati in the World Freak Fight League last year. The brothers, who were dwarfed by The Beast's size and stature, looked incredibly tentative for the best part of two rounds, failing to engage despite having the advantage in numbers. However, with around 30 seconds left in the bout, both brothers rushed Hall simultaneously with aims of taking the mountain of a man down to the canvas.
Hall was unphased by the plot, picking up one of the brothers and slamming him for the mat, before finishing him with a hard right-hook as he got back to his feet. The referees momentarily stopped the bout to tend to the downed brother, before resuming in one-on-one fashion with the other sibling. The remaining brother did his best to evade Hall, but it was only a matter of time before he was cornered, covering up as the strongman stood over him raining down blows.
After four strikes landed, the referee called the bout - with Hall being announced as the victor by KO. The Paul brothers are yet to react to Hall's call-out just yet, but it would certainly make for exciting viewing should they choose to accept the gauntlet Hall has laid down for them. Both men have been active in the world of boxing over the past couple of years, with Jake beating the likes of Mike Tyson , Anderson Silva, Mike Perry, and Nate Diaz to name a few, while Logan has a win over Dillon Danis and went the distance with Floyd Mayweather Jr in an exhibition bout in 2021 before focusing on the world of professional wrestling with the WWE.
Jake has also shown an intention to transition into the world of MMA, signing a lucrative deal with the Professional Fighters League in January 2023, although he has failed to make his debut just yet. The 2017 World's Strongest Man, Hall, has dipped his toe in a number of combat sports avenues in recent years. Aside from last year's bout with the Neffati brothers, he faced Icelandic strongman Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson in the squared circle in 2022, and also had a professional arm-wrestling match with Brian Shaw last year.
In his one-on-one MMA debut later this month, Hall will face Polish powerhouse Pudzianowski, who also five World's Strongest Man accolades to his name as well as an impressive fight record of 17-9-1. It comes as the 48-year-old's first outing since his loss to Artur Szpilka in June 2023, and he will hope to return to the cage reinvigorated to get back to winning ways. Speaking about the opportunity to prove himself as an MMA star, Hall said: "To be honest, I’m bricking it.
"Which is totally fine - Marius is strong and also has 15-plus years experience in the MMA game. But I’m game. One things for sure, I’ll come in with two biceps and fully prepared for a bloodbath.
