Overview

• Selmani issued a press release on Sept. 5 confirming his return and publicly calling for a bout with the 2017 World’s Strongest Man under the Misfits banner.
• No fight has been booked or announced, with a response from Hall or Misfits Boxing still pending.
• The Dutch Albanian heavyweight said Hall’s callout of welterweight Dillon Danis spurred his challenge following Danis’s 15-second win over Warren Spencer.
• Competing under his real name after a decade in WWE, Selmani previously held the Raw and NXT tag titles and won the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic as part of the Authors of Pain.
• Before pro wrestling, he fought in Bellator and BAMMA and quickly finished former UFC fighter and Britain’s Strongest Man Oli Thompson, bolstering his case as a credible opponent.
