Former World's Strongest Man winner Eddie Hall recently called out YouTubers Jake Paul and Logan Paul for a 2v1 MMA contest. As the Englishman previously holds a victory over the Neffati brothers in a similar fashion, he appears to be confident in his chances against social media personalities.

In June 2024, Hall faced Jamil and Jamel Neffati in a 2v1 cage match. The 37-year-old emerged victorious after knocking out both contenders. Currently, the New Castle native is scheduled to face MMA veteran and fellow strongman Mariusz Pudzianowski in a KSW bout.

In an interview with The Ariel Helwani Show, Hall touched on potentially wanting to fight the Paul brothers:

"Jake Paul and Logan Paul, I'd love to get those two in the ring together. I think it would be very uneven. Hundred percent [could beat them]. Powerbomb, smack them straight across the jaw."

Jake Paul claims Turki Alalshikh stopped Canelo Alvarez from fighting him

Throughout his boxing career, Jake Paul had constantly called out multiple-weight world champion Canelo Alvarez. In an episode of BS With Jake Paul featuring boxer David Benavidez, the YouTuber spoke about the Mexican champion potentially avoiding a fight with him.

Paul blames Turki Alalshikh for being the main reason for his fight not coming to fruition. He claims that the Saudi adviser threatened Alvarez into not fighting him. The Guadalajara native is said to have signed a four-fight deal with Riyadh Season, and his potential fight against the YouTuber might be obstructing it.

Speaking to Benavidez, 'The Problem Child' said:

"Basically, Turki hates me. We were negotiating [the Canelo Alvarez fight] for two months straight. The whole entire time, Turki was doing everything in his power to strip the fight, try to not make it happen, calling Canelo."

He continued:

"To the point where he had to threaten Canelo to pull his three-fight deal. Canelo at some point was like, 'Okay, you bought me. I'm not gonna fight this kid, Jake.'"

Sunil is of the opinion that the UFC is not doing enough to prevent eye pokes and does not mind soccer kicks in MMA.

In his free time, he likes to watch anime and films in general. He’s also a boxing historian, having gotten into the sport watching videos of fighters like Sugar Ray Leonard and Roberto Duran.
