Boxer and reality star Tommy Fury is reportedly set to fight World\u2019s Strongest Man winner Eddie Hall.<\/p>\n

Fury, 26, the brother of former heavyweight champion Tyson, first rose to prominence on the UK edition of Love Island seven years ago.<\/p>\n

He then returned to the ring for bouts against YouTubers Jake Paul and KSI in 2023 – beating Paul by split decision and KSI by unanimous decision.<\/p>\n

Since then, his only fight came in May last year when he defeated Bosnian Kenan Hanjalic in a low-profile affair.<\/p>\n

But now, according to talkSPORT<\/a>, he is set to return to the limelight on June 13 in Manchester, England when he takes on Briton strongman Hall at the AO Arena.<\/p>\n

Hall, 38, won the World\u2019s Strongest Man competition back in 2017.<\/p>\n

He then fought and lost to Hafthor Bjornsson in 2022 – the Icelandic giant famous for playing Thor in Game of Thrones.<\/p>\n

Hall\u2019s fighting weight has been well over the 300-pound mark, while Fury has always been under the 200-pound cruiserweight limit.<\/p>\n

It has not yet been confirmed what the weight limit will be for the contest between the two.<\/p>\n

Hall teased an announcement last weekend, saying: \u201cI\u2019ve got a fight coming up on June 13 in Manchester that\u2019ll be announced very, very soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to get in there, of course [as soon as possible]. I\u2019ve got a big fight coming up. It will be on Misfits…\u201d<\/p>\n

He also revealed a potential clash with MMA star Dillon Danis could be on the cards in the future.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cI\u2019ve been told the Dillon Danis fight will happen before the end of the year, so let\u2019s make it happen.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Boxer and reality star Tommy Fury is reportedly set to fight World\u2019s Strongest Man winner Eddie Hall.
