Tyron Woodley in talks to fight Eddie Hall
Tyron Woodley, a former UFC welterweight champion turned boxer, has revealed that he was in talks to fight Eddie Hall, despite a huge 13-stone weight gap between them.
Eddie Hall's crossover to MMA
Eddie Hall, known as the world's strongest man, recently made his debut in boxing but has now crossed over to MMA. He defeated TikTok stars Jamil and Jamel Neffat in a two-on-one bout.
Unusual fight proposal
Despite Hall weighing 26 stone and Woodley only 13 stone, the two fighters were linked to a potential bout. Woodley expressed reluctance to take the fight on short notice to build someone else's reputation.
Woodley's recent fights
Woodley's last fight was a 2021 defeat against Vicente Luque, marking his fourth consecutive loss. He then faced YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, losing on points and getting knocked out in the rematch.
Unfulfilled fights with KSI and Mayweather
Woodley also mentioned talks with KSI and boxing legend Floyd Mayweather for potential fights that did not materialize. He expressed frustration over missed opportunities and opponents backing out.
