Eddie Hall in Talks for Dillon Danis Fight With Under-300-Pound Weight Cap, Timing Unclear

Talks follow his 30-second MMA debut knockout of Mariusz Pudzianowski in April.

Overview

  • Hall says he is negotiating with multiple federations to face Danis, though no promotion has been named and no contract is signed.
  • A reported stipulation requires Hall to weigh under 300 pounds (about 135 kg) to narrow the size gap with Danis, who he says walks near 100 kg.
  • Hall acknowledges he has not been 300 pounds since age 21 and says he does not yet know how he will shed roughly 66 pounds.
  • He indicates a February deal would give him just over three months to prepare, while separate reporting points to a possible late spring or early summer date.
  • Separately, Hall says he would want about £5 million to fight Francis Ngannou, framing that matchup as dependent on a major offer.
