Eddie Hall in Talks for Dillon Danis Fight With 300-Pound Weight Cap

Talks hinge on a 300-pound limit Hall says he has not met since age 21.

Overview

  • Hall says he is negotiating with multiple federations to face Danis, but no contract or hosting promotion is finalized.
  • The proposed bout includes a stipulation that Hall must weigh under 300 pounds (135 kg), which he says would narrow the size gap to about 35 kg.
  • Hall acknowledges uncertainty about cutting the weight on the suggested timeline, noting he has not been under 300 pounds since his early twenties.
  • He indicates rules would be set to favor Danis, including five-minute rounds, to offset Hall’s size and strength advantages.
  • If a deal is reached by February, Hall estimates just over three months to make weight, while reporting points to a possible late spring or early summer timeframe and notes Danis’ medical clearance after a December injury remains unresolved.
