Eddie Hall admits he’s already signed contract for next fight as he reveals likely MMA return date

Speculation about Eddie Hall’s next fight has gone into overdrive since his MMA debut.

On Saturday night, the former World’s Strongest Man obliterated Mariusz Pudzianowski in a 30-second TKO win at KSW 105 in Gliwice, Poland.

Since then, ‘The Beast’ has called out Dillon Danis and been linked to several big-name opponents.

However, Eddie Hall has now admitted that he’s already signed a contract for his next MMA fight.

Eddie Hall reveals likely opponent and date for MMA return

Hall called for a rematch with Pudzianowski during his post-fight interview at KSW 105.

It came as a shock to most who watched him handle the five-time World’s Strongest Man so easily.

However, the 37-year-old says he has already signed a contract to rematch Pudzianowski.

So, if the 48-year-old opts against retirement, they’ll throw down again towards the end of 2025.

“There is a two-fight deal [with KSW],” Hall told Ariel Helwani on Wednesday.

“The second fight is meant to be a rematch with Mariusz Pudzianowski. Potentially in November, but we’ve got to be realistic about it, I think that fight was a big eye-opener for a lot of people, and maybe Mariusz as well.

“I don’t know if that rematch is going to happen. I would be interested in it. It would have to be for two-minute rounds, I wouldn’t agree to four-minute rounds again because it just made my camp so unbearable.

“The training for four-minute rounds, it just became so miserable for me. So, yeah, if it was to happen again, it would have to be the two-minute rounds. I’d happily fight Mariusz again and make it even more of an explosion.”

Eddie Hall vs Francis Ngannou?

The idea of Hall vs Ngannou was first floated by KSW president Martin Lewandowski last week.

After knocking out Pudzianowski, Hall shut down Ngannou fight talk in a hilariously X-rated manner.

“I would rather get f—ed up the a— by the devil than fight Francis Ngannou,” Hall insisted.

“I’m not fighting Francis Ngannou, that’s not happening, no.

“Let’s just not mention my name anywhere near that name.”

During his conversation with Helwani, Hall completed a dramatic U-turn on a fight with Ngannou.

So, if Pudzianowski opts against his contracted rematch, Hall may fight ‘The Predator’ next.
