Eddie Hall is up for fighting Jake Paul and Logan Paul together in the cage, then talked about the matchup like it would be a good time rather than a bad idea. The former World’s Strongest Man is ready to take both at once.
Eddie Hall, speaking on “Fight Your Corner”, in partnership with “Midnite”, the former World’s Strongest Man gave Jake credit that many old-school boxing fans still hate giving. Hall said that since “the likes of Jake Paul” arrived, boxing has pulled in more eyeballs, and he argued that point is hard to deny even for people who roll their eyes at influencer fights.
Hall did not try to dress it up. He basically said what a lot of promoters, broadcasters and fighters have spent the last few years dancing around: Jake Paul is good for attention, and attention is the fuel. Hall’s view was that hardcore fans will still show up for names like Canelo Alvarez, Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, but there is also a chunk of the public that wants something different from the usual script of a favorite walking in, doing enough, and leaving with the result people expected.
Eddie Hall said if more crossover names approached boxing the way Jake Paul does, by taking it seriously, going into camp, eating right and putting real effort into the job, that would be a good thing. He placed Jake’s work ethic in the same sentence as his own camp for Tommy Fury, which tells you Hall was not treating Paul’s boxing run like a joke. He was talking about discipline, even if the delivery still had a bit of chaos in it.
Eddie Hall Says the Paul Brothers Would Be “A Good Scrap” in 2-v-1 Fight
Then, because this is Eddie Hall and a calm sentence can only live for so long, the conversation swerved into fantasy-fight territory. Tony Bellew asked the simple question about whether Hall would fight Jake Paul, and Hall gave the simple answer: yes. Asked about Jake in the cage, Hall said that would be a “big mistake” for Paul, and when Bellew pointed out that Jake wrestles, Hall doubled down and said he would love an MMA fight.
Hall did not stop at Jake. He said he thinks “the Paul brothers would be a good scrap” and pitched a two-versus-one bout in the cage, saying he would get both Jake and Logan in there and “f**k them up.” He even claimed he has done that kind of thing before with shorter opponents and called it some of the best fun he has had in his life. That is the sort of quote that sounds made for social media, but in Hall’s case it also tracks with comments he made in earlier interviews, where he floated the idea of facing both brothers in one fight and said he believed the matchup would be “very uneven.”
Bellew, to his credit, did not let the segment turn into cartoon talk without adding some balance. He said Logan Paul is a very good athlete and gave Jake more respect than many former world champions have been willing to offer. Bellew said Jake “can punch a bit” and “isn’t a mug,” adding that he turns his shots over well.
Hall had just boxed Tommy Fury on Misfits and the same podcast episode makes clear he came away from that experience with respect for what proper camps demand.
