Tommy Fury is taking on another non-traditional opponent.
Fury will face strongman Eddie Hall on June 13 at AO Arena in Manchester as part of a Misfits Boxing show on DAZN, it was announced on Friday.
Fury (11-0, 4 KOs) will fight for the first time since scoring a six-round unanimous decision against Kenan Hanjalic in May in Budapest, Hungary.
In 2023, "TNT" Fury beat Jake Paul and KSI in a pair of decisions. Fury was supposed to face former UFC fighter Darren Till in a boxing match in January of last year but called off the bout due to safety concerns.
Fury, 26, is a reality star and the brother of former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.
Hall, the 2017 World's Strongest Man, has never boxed professionally but did an exhibition bout against Icelandic strongman Hafthor Bjornsson in March 2022. Hall suffered cuts to both eyes, was dropped twice and was on the losing end of a six-round unanimous decision. Hall has also competed in MMA and won his pro debut in 30 seconds against Mariusz Pudzianowski in April.
Hall, 38, weighed 334 pounds for the match and should have more than a 100-pound weight advantage against Fury.
The bout is being billed as "Beauty vs. The Beast."
