Eddie Hall delivered a brutal knockout in a unique matchup last night at the King George’s Hall in Blackburn, England. The 2017 'World’s Strongest Man' titleholder squared off in a two-on-1 handicap showdown against Polish social media influencers, The Neffati Brothers (Jamil and Jamel), in the headline bout of the debut World Freak Fight League.

Following a sluggish beginning to the bout, characterized by the brothers largely dodging Hall's advances in the initial two rounds, they eventually summoned the courage to engage the British powerlifter.

However, their decision proved costly when 'The Beast' effortlessly countered one of the brothers, who attempted a single-leg takedown, with a powerbomb—a pro-wrestling move—sending him crashing to the canvas.

As the fighter attempted to regain composure, Hall swiftly connected with a brutal right hook, rendering his opponent unconscious and prompting the referees to intervene and stop the fight.

However, the anticipated showdown under the Finisher Championship banner failed to materialize for undisclosed reasons.


How did Eddie Hall fare in his boxing debut?

Eddie Hall made his squared circle debut against fellow World's Strongest Man contender Thor Bjornsson in Abu Dhabi in March 2022. The six-round amateur bout was dubbed as 'The Heaviest Boxing Match in History'.

Throughout the six three-minute rounds, the Game of Thrones star showcased his superiority by scoring three knockdowns. However, 'The Beast' responded with a knockdown of his own in the second round, delivering a potent shot that sent Bjornsson into the ropes.

The bout unfolded as a technical display, ultimately favoring Bjornsson, who secured the victory with a unanimous decision. He leveraged his height and reach advantage to systematically dismantle Hall with his jabs.
