Eddie Hall leaves fan with black eye and ‘burst eardrum’ after taking two huge slaps from ex-World’s Strongest Man

MMA fans know Eddie Hall is capable of causing catastrophic damage with his punches.

The former World’s Strongest Man knocked out 28-fight Mariusz Pudzianowski in 30 seconds when he debuted in the sport earlier this year.

Now, ‘The Beast’ has shown he could be just as dangerous if he signed for Dana White‘s slap fighting league.

Eddie Hall left a fan with a suspected ‘burst eardrum’ after slapping him twice at an Abu Dhabi event.

Eddie Hall drops fan twice

Dean Dodd is a YouTuber who accepts challenges from his fans, however weird they may be.

The Welsh influencer’s latest video was made in response to someone saying, ‘Bet you won’t let Eddie Hall slap you.’

That’s exactly what Dodd did (twice) when he met Hall at the Slap Fighting Championship.

The 350lb behemoth took it easy with his first slap, but he still managed to drop Dodd.

“Give me 70 [percent]. Come on! A little bit harder,” the viral star said after popping back up to his feet.

Hall initially refused before whacking Dodd with a slap that seemed to cause serious damage.

“Ahh, my ear’s gone. My eardrum has been burst,” he said after falling to the floor for a second time.

Dodd later clarified the injuries he suffered when he posted footage of Hall’s slaps on social media.

“Black eye and a popped eardrum,” he wrote in his Instagram comment section.

“Think I’m quite lucky, if he hit me 100% I wouldn’t be able to post this.”

Eddie Hall’s MMA career

Talks are currently ongoing for Eddie Hall’s next fight after his spectacular debut in April.

Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou has been talked about as a potential opponent.

It’s currently unclear who the 37-year-old will face next, but he recently gave fans a hint about what to expect as he mapped out his MMA aspirations.

“I’ve got no aspirations to be a ranked fighter,” Hall said.

“I’ve got no aspirations to be a world champion.

“I’ve had the bulk of my success in strongman, and I think my best years of athleticism are behind me.

“I’ve got a few more years left and I just wanna enjoy it.

“I think the MMA keeps me fit, active, and I enjoy the fight scene. I always have.”
