Eddie Hall viciously knocked out two men in one night as part of a bizarre 2v1 ‘freak fight’ last summer.
2017 World’s Strongest Man winner Hall tipped the scales at 367lb to face the Neffati Brothers, who collectively came in under the 300lb mark. One brother was 148lb, while the other was just 143lb, meaning their collective size was remarkably different.
When the fight came around, the brothers made it difficult for Hall to get off any offense as the circled him with his back to the cage. Their hope was to find an opening late, but they instead were brutalized upon getting close enough to the giant strongman.

Eddie Hall brutalized Neffati Brothers in 2v1 ‘freak fight’
From day one, the Eddie Hall vs Neffati Brothers fight lived up to it’s billing as a freak show. The social media stars antagonized Hall at the final press conference, and even got on each other’s shoulders in order to make up a photo for their face-off.
Hall went after the brothers at the press conference, but was unable to get his hands on them for the majority of the fight itself. He wisely stood close to the cage, hoping to keep the brothers from getting behind him and catching him in a submission.
It wasn’t until the last minute or so that the pair attacked, which ended up being their downfall. Hall immediately power-bombed one like a WWE wrestling match, before brutally knocking him out with the first punch he threw.
Once the first brother was scraped off the canvas, the fight continued as a one-on-one, with the other sibling deciding to run around the cage. However, when he was caught Hall immediately got him on his back and got the stoppage by ground and pound.
Eddie Hall is now challenging Mariusz Pudzianowski at KSW 105
Immediately after the fight in Blackburn, Eddie Hall suggested a showdown with his fellow World’s Strongest Man champion Mariusz Pudzianowski. He is under no illusions about the vast experience difference between the pair, but understands the excitement behind the match.
“I think someone like Mariusz Pudzianowski, he’s got 20 years experience in the game,” Hall said on the night. “He’s still a big guy, still very strong and he is a hard b******, there’s no denying that Mariusz Pudzianowski is very hard.
“I think the fans want to see a ‘World’s Strongest Man’ vs ‘World’s Strongest Man’, so there we go. If someone can bring the right deal to the table I know Mariusz is game, he’s always in my inbox sending me fighting emojis, so maybe this is it.”
Now, KSW have booked the super-heavyweight clash between Hall and Pudzianowski for their show on April 26.
