When it comes to strength sports, few names carry the same weight as Eddie Hall and Devon Larratt. One is a former World’s Strongest Man and powerlifting icon; the other is a living legend in the world of professional arm wrestling. Now, fans are buzzing with excitement over the possibility of the two titans clashing at the table — in what could become one of the most anticipated arm wrestling matches of all time.
While nothing has been confirmed officially, speculation has been growing in both the strength and arm wrestling communities. Hall, who has never shied away from stepping into new athletic arenas — from boxing Hafthor Bjornsson to taking on MMA fights — has shown increasing interest in arm wrestling. In several of his recent videos and interviews, “The Beast” has teased the idea of testing his raw power against someone with elite-level arm wrestling technique.

And when you’re talking elite, there are few more qualified than Devon Larratt.
Larratt, a multiple-time World Armwrestling League champion, is renowned for his technical brilliance, strategic mindset, and legendary endurance at the table. He’s faced and beaten some of the best to ever do it — including Hafthor Bjornsson in a boxing match and some of the strongest pullers in arm wrestling history. The Canadian has also been open to taking on all challengers, regardless of their background, making a Hall-Larratt matchup a real possibility.
From a stylistic perspective, the showdown is fascinating. Hall would enter the match with unmatched brute strength, particularly in his grip and upper body. Larratt, on the other hand, would bring decades of refined skill, wrist control, and table IQ — the kind of precision that has humbled many physically stronger opponents.
“Eddie is ridiculously strong — no doubt about it,” Larratt once said during an interview when asked about a potential bout. “But arm wrestling isn’t just about who’s stronger. It’s about control, timing, and knowing where to apply your power.”
For Hall, a bout with Larratt would not just be another spectacle. It would be a chance to earn legitimacy in yet another discipline, adding to his growing résumé of combat and strength sports. It could also bring mainstream eyes to arm wrestling — especially if promoted on platforms like YouTube or under banners such as King of the Table or East vs West.
There’s also the entertainment factor. With both men being massive personalities and respected figures in their respective sports, the promotional build-up alone would be a must-watch.
While no date has been set and no contract signed, the idea of Eddie Hall stepping up to face Devon Larratt is quickly gaining traction. And if history tells us anything about Hall, it’s that when he says he’s going to do something, he makes it happen.
For now, fans will have to wait and see. But if this clash ever comes to life, it could very well become one of the most talked-about arm wrestling matches in modern history.
