EDDIE HALL is closing in on his next super-heavyweight fight.
The former world’s strongest man lost his boxing debut to strongman rival Hafthor Bjornsson in 2022.

But he crossed over to MMA this year and defeated TikTok star brothers Jamil and Jamel Neffati in a two-on-one handicap clash.
Now Hall, 36, is closing in on a deal to face strongman-turned-MMA fighter Mariusz Pudzianowski, 47.
The Clash Royale ambassador told SunSport: “Hey, man, I’m looking forward to the fight. I am currently looking for an opponent to fight myself.
“I keep poking at Mariusz Pudzianowski, who’s a big MMA fighter in Poland. So I’m just trying my best to get that contract done.
“And hopefully you’ll see me smashing some people up pretty soon.”
The Brit weighed over 25st in his last fight while Pudzianowski was just over 18st meaning they would carry a combined 43 STONE into the cage.
Hall said: “Mariusz Pudzianowski is five times World Strongest Man and we’re very similar build, like 6ft 1, 6ft 2. His strength is really portrayed in his fights.
“He is 47 years old now. I’m 36. So I just think that all these different sorts of things that I’ve got going on equals the playing field a little bit.

“And I keep asking the question to people, me versus Marius, and everyone’s like, ‘Wow, that’s going to be a really good fight.’
“No one can definitely say that Marius is going to win, and no one can say I’m going to win.
“Marius is a hard, hard opponent. He is a hard get. So yeah, it’ll just be good to get in the ring with someone like Marius and do business.”
Hall has been training with interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall, 31, and left more humbled than ever.
He said: “In my eyes I was holding my own against Tom.
“But I know for a fact because I’ve sparred with Tom and I’ve wrestled with Tom, and it’s like being in a in a cage with a lion that’s playing with you.
“He’s sort of like playing knocking about whatever. But at any point he could unleash and just tear you tear you apart.
“And that is what it’s like being with Tom. It’s very humbling.
“You know, if you think you’re a big, hard guy, I empower you to go in the ring with Tom Aspinall for 30 seconds, and I guarantee that opinion will change.”
