Tommy Fury and Eddie Hall are reportedly set to headline a Misfits Boxing event on June 13 at Manchester’s AO Arena. This fight has garnered attention due to a significant weight disparity, potentially nearing 130 lbs (approximately 60 kg). The bout will be broadcast on DAZN pay-per-view, aligning with Misfits’ strategy of staging crossover events that blend traditional boxing with influencer-style matchups.
The Upcoming Bout
UK media reports confirm that the Fury vs. Hall fight is scheduled for Saturday, June 13, 2026, in Manchester. It is slated to be the main event of a Misfits Boxing card at the 21,000-capacity AO Arena, a venue frequently used for major boxing and crossover events. Initial promotional content suggests the show will be globally broadcast on DAZN as a pay-per-view event under the Misfits banner.
Tommy Fury: Boxer and Media Personality
Tommy Fury, 26, is an undefeated professional boxer with an 11-0 record. His notable decision victories against Jake Paul and KSI transformed him from a promising prospect into a mainstream crossover headliner. For those fights, he competed at cruiserweight, officially weighing 184.5 lbs for Paul and 183.6 lbs for KSI, typically operating in the 180–200 lb range. In his most recent bout, he reportedly weighed around 14 st 12 lb (208 lb), indicating a move towards a light-heavyweight build without fully entering the traditional heavyweight division.
Beyond his boxing career, Tommy Fury has gained significant public recognition from his appearances on reality television, most notably the popular dating show Love Island. This stint elevated him from a promising boxer with a famous surname to a mainstream UK personality, providing him with a substantial social media following and a crossover appeal that Misfits and DAZN aim to leverage for events such as his fight against Eddie Hall.
Eddie Hall: Strongman and Fighter
Eddie Hall is most renowned as the 2017 World’s Strongest Man, a title he earned while weighing approximately 443 lbs (over 200 kg) — more than double Fury’s typical fighting weight. Since retiring from elite strongman competitions, Hall has shed considerable weight but still reportedly fought at 334 lbs (151 kg) in an MMA bout against Mariusz Pudzianowski last year, securing a knockout victory in under 30 seconds. During his peak strongman years, he weighed around 25 stone (350 lbs). Videos of him sparring with Fury clearly highlight his substantial weight advantage over the boxer.
Eddie Hall has been actively working to bridge his experience gap by training with high-level partners, including kickboxing legend Rico Verhoeven and UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall, for sparring and coaching. Their sessions have focused on refining Hall’s footwork, defense, and fundamental combinations, alongside helping him understand how to manage distance and pace against a more fluid boxer like Tommy Fury.
Significant Weight Disparity
Media attention in the UK has largely centered on the anticipated size difference. Fury’s recent recorded weight of approximately 14 st 12 lb (208 lbs / 94 kg) compared to Hall’s MMA weight of 23 st 12 lb (334 lbs / 151 kg) suggests a discrepancy of around 9 stone (126 lbs / 57 kg). During his prime as a strongman, Hall weighed over 31 stone, which would have pushed this difference beyond 16 stone.
Misfits and DAZN have not yet announced an official weight class or limit. Therefore, it’s currently expected that Fury will compete near the bridgerweight or light-heavyweight division, while Hall will significantly cut weight from the super-heavyweight category, likely resulting in a weight difference of around 120 lbs (54 kg) on fight night.
From a sporting perspective, analysts have already labeled this bout a stylistic and physical anomaly: Fury possesses boxing experience and technique, while Hall offers immense size, a history of strength, and limited fight experience. This contest aligns with Misfits’ pattern of booking fights that spark debate regarding safety, matchmaking, and spectacle, with the central question being whether a weight difference of nearly 10 stone can be safely managed under exhibition-style rules or if it will be perceived as a sanctioned professional mismatch in Manchester.
