Tommy Fury<\/a> is set to fight 2017 World’s Strongest Man Eddie Hall in a summer showdown.<\/p>\n

Former Love Island star Fury, 26, will lock horns with 38-year-old Hall at a Misfits Boxing event in Manchester on June 13.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And there could be around a 10-stone difference in weight between the two fighters at the AO Arena, based off their previous measurements.<\/p>\n

Fury weighed in around 14st, 12lb for his last fight, a\u00a0unanimous decision victory over\u00a0Kenan Hanjalic to boost his unbeaten record to 11-0.<\/p>\n

But Hall used to compete at around 31st, 9lb as a strongman – more than double Fury’s weight.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And despite trimming down in recent years, he still weighed 23st, 12lb when he competed in a professional MMA contest against\u00a0Mariusz Pudzianowski in April last year. He won that with a knockout inside 30 seconds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Tommy <\/p>\n

Tommy Fury is reportedly set to return to the ring in June against a mighty opponent\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"He <\/p>\n

He will come face-to-face with 2017 World’s Strongest Man Eddie Hall, 38, in Manchester<\/p>\n

Fury is expected to step up in size for the heavyweight bout but it is still expected to be a huge mismatch.<\/p>\n

But the half-brother of Tyson Fury has experience on his side with 11 bouts and he has beaten the likes of Jake Paul and KSI before in highly publicised dust-ups.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He defeated both of them in 2023 but then had to undergo surgery on a hand injury and has only fought once since against Hanjalic.<\/p>\n

Hall is a recognisable figure in households across the UK thanks to his participation in four World’s Strongest Man finals.<\/p>\n

The Staffordshire-born star beat Hafthor Bjornsson to the title by a point in 2017.<\/p>\n

His only professional boxing match was against Bjornsson in 2022, when he lost via unanimous decision.<\/p>\n

Fury’s fight with Hall is expected to be announced soon, as the former hinted at it at\u00a0Darren Till’s Gorilla Promotions in Birmingham over the weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I’ve got a fight coming up on June 13 in Manchester that’ll be announced very, very soon,’ he said.<\/p>\n

‘I want to get in there, of course [as soon as possible].<\/p>\n

‘I’ve got a big fight coming up. It will be on Misfits.<\/p>\n

‘I’ve been told the Dillon Danis fight will happen before the end of the year, so let’s make it happen.’<\/p>\n
