Tommy Fury vs Eddie Hall Set to Headline Misfits Event in Manchester
Crossover boxing is lining up another big event, and this time it’s a matchup that stands out for its contrast. Tommy Fury is set to face Eddie Hall on June 13 at the AO Arena in Manchester, with the fight available live on DAZN PPV.
It’s not your usual pairing. One is a professional boxer who’s been active for years, the other is a former World’s Strongest Man stepping into another high-profile fight.
Can Tommy Fury beat Eddie Hall?
Tommy Fury turned professional in 2018 and has been steadily building his record since then. He picked up several wins early in his career against lower-level opposition, gaining experience and rounds inside the ring. While those fights didn’t attract huge attention, they helped shape his style and confidence.
His profile changed when he stepped into the crossover boxing scene. In 2023, he faced Jake Paul and won by split decision, handing Paul his first defeat. Later that year, he fought KSI and secured another decision win, although the result sparked debate among fans. Fury remains unbeaten as a professional, and while critics still question the level of his opposition, he has shown he can handle pressure in big events.

Eddie Hall’s journey is completely different. Best known for winning the World’s Strongest Man title in 2017, he entered boxing in 2022 when he faced Hafthor Bjornsson. That fight went the distance, with Hall losing by decision. Despite the loss, he showed decent stamina and willingness to trade, which isn’t always expected from someone coming out of strongman competition.
Since then, Hall has stayed involved in combat sports training and has been open about taking on big challenges rather than building a traditional boxing record. That’s what makes this fight interesting.
Fury brings experience, cleaner technique, and more time in the ring. Hall brings raw power, size, and a completely different physical presence. It’s a matchup that doesn’t follow the usual formula, but that’s exactly what crossover boxing has been about. With Misfits Boxing continuing to grow and events like this drawing attention, the Manchester card is expected to pull in a big audience. Whether it ends up being competitive or one-sided, it’s the kind of fight people will watch just to see how it plays out.
