Eddie Hall isn’t wasting time dwelling on defeat.
Fresh off a points loss to Tommy Fury on Misfits 23, the former World’s Strongest Man is already plotting his next move — and it sounds like he’s ready to swap boxing gloves for takedowns.
Hall came up short in what was his second defeat in the ring, but if there was any expectation he’d quietly step away, he quickly shut that down.
Instead, the 38-year-old has thrown fuel back on one of Misfits’ most chaotic rivalries by calling out MMA star Dillon Danis once again.
Speaking in an explosive post-fight interview with Fred Beck, Hall made it clear he wants back in — and soon.
“Hopefully Misfits reach out, and we get another fight booked in pretty quick. Hopefully MMA,” Hall said.
When Beck suggested Hall’s enormous frame might be better suited to mixed martial arts, the Brit didn’t hesitate to name his target.
“Yeah, f*** it. Give me Dillon Danis because that little c*** says he’ll beat me left, right, and centre. So, let’s find out,” Hall said. “I don’t particularly want that fight, but he keeps chirping up, saying he’d beat me. So, the funny thing is you put the polls on Instagram and Facebook, and it’s literally 50/50. Like 50% saying he’d beat me, like his jiu-jitsu is too good, and 50% saying he’d smash him. So, let’s f***ing find out.”
It’s the latest chapter in a feud that’s been simmering for over a year.
The bad blood first intensified after Hall steamrolled former strongman and MMA veteran Mariusz Pudzianowski in the opening round of their April 2025 clash. Riding that momentum, Hall publicly called for Danis.
Danis wasn’t interested.
At the time, the American mocked Hall, branding him “fatty” and pointing to the huge size disparity between them. Weighing around 170 pounds, Danis argued Hall’s 300-plus-pound frame made the fight unrealistic unless the Brit dropped to 265.
That demand stayed in place even after the pair had a heated face-off at a later Misfits event.
But the tension didn’t cool.
If anything, it escalated.
After Danis captured the inaugural Misfits MMA light heavyweight title in September, he revisited the Hall matchup and made his own intentions clear, claiming he was “literally gonna suplex him (Hall) over the ropes.”
That threat clearly hasn’t been forgotten.
During the latest interview, Beck reminded Hall of Danis’ elite-level jiu-jitsu background — a point Hall was having none of.
And that’s when things really kicked off.
“F*** his f***ing jiu-jitsu,” Hall said. I will f***ing grab him, bend him up like a pretzel, dip him in f***ing ketchup, and f***ing munch on that c***.”
Classic Eddie Hall.
It’s that exact mix of chaos, confidence and sheer unpredictability that keeps him relevant in crossover combat sports, even when results haven’t gone his way.
And Hall doesn’t seem remotely concerned about the format either.
Misfits MMA continues to stage fights inside a boxing ring rather than a cage — something many fighters have questioned due to the different dynamics for grappling exchanges.
For Hall, it’s simple.
If the money’s right, the platform doesn’t matter.
