World's Strongest Man Eddie Hall calls out Jake and Logan Paul for 2v1 MMA freak fight after KOing two influencer brothers at once

World’s Strongest Man winner Eddie Hall has called for a new 2v1 MMA ‘freak fight’, and he has two ambitious names on his mind.
Former strongman Hall made his MMA debut last summer against the Neffati Brothers in a bizarre bout where he outweighed both men put together. He is now set to face veteran fighter and fellow World’s Strongest Man winner Mariusz Pudzianowski in a more legitimate KSW contest.
Hall is not keen to make a career of fighting after a lengthy run in strongman, but he is keen to make the biggest fights. And none would come bigger than a 2v1 with controversial YouTubers-turned-boxers Logan Paul and his brother Jake Paul.

Eddie Hall wants 2v1 ‘freak fight’ with Jake Paul and brother Logan Paul
Expected to weigh in in at a whopping 155kg, or 341lb on fight night when he faces Pudzianowski later this month, Eddie Hall is a true giant of a man. Even Jake Paul’s wildly heavy 227lb against Mike Tyson last year pales in comparison, as does Logan Paul’s last fight weigh-in which was sub 200lb.
While Hall is locked into taking legitimate fights on KSW, there are provisions to allow for him to fight in other 2v1 bouts. And he wants to take a much bigger challenge, taking on the two brothers with years of boxing and wrestling experience.
Speaking with Ariel Helwani on his show on the Uncrowned network today, Hall explained: “Jake Paul and Logan Paul, I’d love to get them in a cage together… I think it would be very uneven, 100 per cent [I would kick their a–], powerbomb, smack them straight across the jaw. That’s it.”
Jake Paul was due to fight Canelo Alvarez this year
While Logan is focused on his career in the WWE ring, Jake Paul is still on the lookout for an opponent next after his historic win over Tyson. That bout on Netflix smashed viewership records for boxing and even crashed the streaming service at some points, so his next move has to be a big one.
He had been working on a meeting with Canelo Alvarez for months, and the pair had even begun shopping the bout to broadcasters. However, at the last minute the boxing icon opted for a multi-fight deal with Turki Alalshikh that would include a crossover clash with Terence Crawford in September.
There were also moves being made towards an exhibition with Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis, but his draw with Lamont Roach Jr meant that won’t be happening either. Paul is signed to the PFL for his MMA future, and could perhaps take interest in facing Hall.
