Not sure about the date yet, but it looks like they are taking their feud to the boxing ring. Eddie has a video where he's signing his portion of the contract. This is going to be crazy.

hafthor's reach is going to wear him out. both are powerful ass dudes but his arms are stupid long compared to eddie's
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Seems like it's going to be hard for Eddie to even get close to him.
All of this stuff was almost definitely a PR stunt then lol
But does anyone have Eddies will...might be a “Rocky” event

Kinda silly. Two strong men trying to box. I agree with Rice PR stunt. As strong men I am a fan of both. Come on, strong men do not make good boxers. It illegitimizes the sport when people from other sports that are not good try it for PR. (Not like Bob Arum has not done that already right?) Most people cannot tell a good boxer from a bad.
Eddie hall hitting pads. He looks like what he is. A stiff bit strong man that has trained some boxing and hits hard from size, is stiff and slow. If he fights this way he will get crushed. So sloppy. His hands are down most of the time. I bet any higher level pro boxer hits harder. If he fights like he hits pods better hope this is a 3 round fight.
Joe Rogan on Eddie Hall's boxing "THAT’S NOT GOOD,” SAID ROGAN, CRITIQUING HALL’S TRAINING. “RIGHT AWAY WE’RE SEEING THAT WE HAVE A REAL PROBLEM. YEAH, THIS IS TERRIBLE. HE’S VERY RUDIMENTARY, BUT ALSO YOU SEE THAT HIS BODY IS VERY STIFF.
“LOOKING AT HIM SPARRING THERE, HE’S JUST NOT MOVING SO GOOD… THIS IS SUPER STIFF. HE’S THROWING THESE PUNCHES WITH HIS ARMS. THESE ARE ARM PUNCHES, ALMOST LIKE HE SHOULDN’T BE HITTING THINGS."
Here his trainer is trying to teach Eddie to come in under a long punch to attack. If he does this 3 times he will either get clipped or gas out.

Has exhibition fight. The muscles required for a strong man are totally diff than for a boxer.

Watching some of their training clips is pretty terrible. The more I see them train, the worse it's starting to look.
But, it is still cool that these big guys, two of the strongest in the world will have an exhibition fight. Will I watch? Yeah I nascar for the wrecks. (Unless it is PPV or there are real fights on.)
Exactly and I’m sure there will be hot card girls and such[emoji160]

Wow, I posted this back in 2020. The fight is supposed to be this Saturday 3/19/22. They're both in Dubai and looks like it's actually going to go down. I just saw a video of them running into each other in a boxing gym in Dubai and they almost got into it. Thor seemed like he was laughing a little at the beginning, but Eddie looked PISSED. I think the fight is supposed to be free, so I'll be tuning in.
Both guys have cut a lot of mass and look ripped and fit. I think Hafhtor will give Eddie prob due to his size and reach. All he has to do is jab every time Eddie comes in. Eddie has such a huge upper body hard to slip punches.
I was watching some of their training videos and I think it's going to be a bit comical, but these guys have so much hate toward each other it'll be interesting to see them take it out. I watched the conference between them on youtube yesterday and Eddie has so much anger in the tank.
