Eddie Hall quite literally hit back at John Fury after being sent a bizarre message ahead of his fight with Tommy Fury this weekend.
Former World’s Strongest Man winner Hall returns to the ring on Saturday night for a Misfits Boxing showdown with the Love Islander and unbeaten boxer. The pair are expected to be over 100lb apart at Friday’s weigh-ins, although Fury is still the favorite when they fight the following night.
Who wins and why when Eddie Hall collides with Tommy Fury on June 13?

It seems that the real beef between Hall and the Fury family stems from an issue with John, as opposed to any actual bad blood with Tommy. The pair were once friends who filmed YouTube videos together, and have now manufactured a feud in an effort to sell pay-per-views.
Eddie Hall shares reaction to John Fury’s strange fight message
In a new promotional video for this Saturday’s Misfits Boxing show, Eddie Hall can be seen ‘taking a call’ from John Fury. It is, in fact, a pre-recorded message from the controversial boxing personality in which he is ranting at the renowned strongman.
“Eddie, Eddie, Eddie talking s— as usual,” Fury can be seen saying. “We’ve had one row, mate and you’re going to make a row with me that you’re not going to be able to deal with. So pipe it down my old pal, will you?
“You’re talking s—, you’re not a fighter, you’re a beast at lifting weights. Good luck with the half a ton but you’re not a fighter, mate. When Tommy’s dealt with you I’ll deal with you as well.
“So good luck to you because you’re going to be in a lot of deep water that you can’t come out of. Be correct because let me tell you something, mate. You’re dealing with John Fury here.”
Hall then can be seen throwing his phone down, getting up and quite literally punching the bag in response to Fury’s goading.
