Eddie Hall names ideal opponent after 30-second KO win over five-time World’s Strongest Man

Eddie Hall’s professional MMA debut couldn’t have gone any better.

‘The Beast’ originally called to face Mariusz Pudzianowski after winning a bizarre 2vs1 bout last June.

Almost one year later, Eddie Hall obliterated the five-time World’s Strongest Man in 30 seconds at KSW 105 on Saturday night.

During his post-fight interview, the 336lb super heavyweight named the opponent he’d like to face next.

What’s next for Eddie Hall?

Hall insisted that he’s not interested in chasing fights at the top of the sport after his debut victory.

The 37-year-old claimed he’ll be targeting his heroes and ‘the freaks of the world’.

In an ideal world, Hall wants to do a rematch with Pudzianowski, who complained about taking illegal shots to the back of the head immediately after his third successive defeat.

“Maybe Mariusz will do the rematch with two minutes rounds,” he said.

“I’ve got no aspirations to be number one in KSW. That’s just not for me.

“I want to come and have fun. I want to fight my heroes. I want to fight the freaks of the world.”

Marisuz Pudzianowski hints at retirement

Pudzianowski made an MMA retirement admission ahead of his 600lb ‘World’s Strongest Fight’ with Hall.

After losing in such a devastating fashion, the 48-year-old was not interested in discussing a rematch.

“I’m not thinking about the future,” Pudzianowski admitted.

“I turned 48, almost 49. The sport is for young people.

“What’s next? I don’t know.”
