Eddie Hall eyes Francis Ngannou clash after stunning MMA debut

Former World’s Strongest Man Eddie Hall has set his sights on a blockbuster fight with Francis Ngannou following his explosive MMA debut at KSW 105, where he knocked out fellow strongman Mariusz Pudzianowski in just 30 seconds.

Despite initial hesitation, Hall now believes he could pose a threat to Ngannou, the PFL Super Fight Champion and ex-UFC heavyweight king. “At first, I thought comparing me to Ngannou was ridiculous,” Hall admitted on Michael Bisping’s podcast. “But after some reflection and encouragement, I think: Why not? If the money’s right, I’d take that 5% chance.”

Hall acknowledges Ngannou’s dominance but trusts his own one-punch knockout power. “He’s human—if I land clean, he’s going to sleep,” he declared. The Brit’s confidence has sparked speculation, with KSW’s promoter even backing the idea.

Ngannou, who recently signed with the PFL, has yet to respond. But with Hall’s growing MMA buzz and the Cameroonian’s heavyweight aura, a crossover clash could become a must-see spectacle.
