Eddie Hall makes violent ‘powerbomb’ threat to Jake Paul and Logan Paul in 2 vs 1 call-out

Eddie Hall would relish the chance to fight Jake Paul and Logan Paul at the same time.

Hall is the king of mismatches in the combat sports world, having fought brothers Jamil and Jamel Nefatti in a crazy 2v1 MMA bout last year.

Both Paul brothers, meanwhile, have also contested crazy fights of their own.

The youngest, Jake, fought and beat 58-year-old Mike Tyson last November, while the eldest, Logan, fought Floyd Mayweather four years ago in an exhibition fight.

Hall is now in a training camp for his second MMA appearance as he takes on five-time World's Strongest Man Mariusz Pudzianowski at the end of this month.

The 37-year-old Hall, also a former World's Strongest Man, will travel to Poland on April 26 for the wild bout, but hasn't shied away from even bigger challenges in the future.

"Jake Paul and Logan Paul, I'd love to ," he told broadcaster Ariel Helwani, speaking on his ambitions outside of fighting fellow strongmen in combat sports.

"I think it would be very uneven," he added, before offering a violent threat.

"One hundred per cent [I could beat them]. Powerbomb, smack them straight across the jaw."

Hall's knockout win over the Nefatti brothers was his second outing in combat sports after he was outpointed by Thor Bjornsson in a battle of the giants boxing match three years ago.

Now, he's set to come face-to-face with another beast in Pudzianowski this month.

The fight is being dubbed as the 'World's Strongest Fight' and Hall is expected to weigh-in at a career-low of 330 pounds for the clash.

“Eddie is not like some bar room brawler,” Hall's opponent, Pudzianowski, said.

“He is a really strong guy who weighs 160kg (352lb) today and on April 26 I believe [he] will be 150kg (330lbs).

“I know what it means because I come from the same source so for the first two minutes it will be an unstoppable steam engine.

"It’s only that I still have some of this strength and I have the experience before youth and some cunning.

“So if I do not let myself be caught by a cheap trick, it should be fine. But let’s not underestimate it.

"He is a heavyweight and his hands weigh a lot.”

Hall famously dropped around 70lbs from the 433lb mark to make weight for his fight with Bjornsson in 2022.

The now-retired strongman, who comes from Newcastle-under-Lyme, will be the underdog against Pudzianowski, considering the latter has had 26 fights in pro MMA, with 17 wins and nine defeats.

"I think being scared is a very natural trait. Even going into my strongman, you’d be scared, you’d be nervous," the Briton said, speaking on the upcoming fight.

“If you’re not scared, you’re not nervous then something’s not right.

"Let’s face it, I’m going up against Mariusz Pudzianowski...he’s a fierce, fierce man and to get in the cage and exchange leather with a man whose had 26 fights? I’ve had one!

“So I’ve got a lot to be scared of, and the four minute rounds has been a tough thing for me to accept as well.
