This weekend, Tommy Fury will take on Eddie Hall in a boxing match that is sure to be eye-catching.
Fury is a former Love Island star and a half-brother of ex-heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, and the 27-year-old has built his own professional boxing career since 2018.
The Briton is 11-0 (4 KOs) and holds wins over the likes of YouTubers Jake Paul and KSI, while compatriot Hall has boxed just once, losing to fellow retired strongman Hafthor Julius Bjornsson in 2022.

Much of this fight has been billed around the weight difference. Fury typically competes at cruiserweight and weighed in at 14st 4lb (94kg) in his most-recent fight, a points win over Kenan Hanjalic last May. Meanwhile, Hall, 38, weighed over 28st 8lb (181kg) during his strongman prime.
