When did Eddie Hall make his boxing debut?

Eddie Hall made his boxing debut back in March 2022 against long-time contender for the title of the world's strongest man, Thor Bjornsson. The six-round amateur bout was billed as "The Heaviest Boxing Match in History."

The Game of Thrones star was able to assert his dominance over the course of six three-minute rounds. Bjornsson secured a knockdown in the third round with a powerful left hook and another in the final round with a precise 1combination.

Despite many expecting the bout to be a brawl, it proved to be a technical bout. As the fight unfolded, Bjornsson effectively utilized his height and reach advantage to dismantle Hall. Ultimately, the 'Game of Thrones' star secured victory with a unanimous decision (57-54, 57-54, 57-54), and his performance earned him the specially crafted Titan Championship belt.

After losing his boxing debut, Hall took his loss on the chin and had this to say (H/T talkSPORT):

“At the end of the day I’ve just fought literally the biggest man in the world in a boxing match, I’d like to see anybody else have the balls to do that. It’s been a hell of a journey, but I’ve really enjoyed it. Hopefully, there’s a rematch and we can do business again. Take care everyone, big love, the Beast.”
