Eddie Hall leaks Tommy Fury fight rules and everyone thinks the result is clear already
Eddie Hall has confirmed the rules for his upcoming fight with Tommy Fury on Misfits boxing.
On June 13, former world's strongest man Hall will step into the boxing ring to face Fury in a shock crossover bout taking part in Manchester's AO Arena.
Sold as Beauty vs. The Beast, it is expected that there will be a massive 130lbs (58.9kg) weight difference between the pair come fight night.
Naturally, such a massive weight disparity has raised questions over how the fight will actually play out and what rules have been put in place in order for it to be allowed to go ahead.

But now, Hall himself has spoken out to reveal exactly what the rules for the fight are, and fans are worried it may mean that the result is all but confirmed already.
Speaking to talkSPORT, Hall explained: "The fight will be with 12oz gloves and will be six, two-minute rounds.
"I will weigh in at whatever weight I am now to be honest. As long as I'm fit and in shape.
"It will probably be around the 150kg mark, there is no weight limit.
"With my diet, I've been a carnivore for a while now, so will be sticking to meat, eggs and dairy."
Hall later admitted that he was very thankful for the shorter rounds, having done three minute rounds earlier in his boxing career and struggled with the cardio.
However, he claimed that two minute rounds will be much easier for him and allow him to fight at the best of his ability.
But it appears that boxing fans aren't so sure, as many believe that the shorter rounds will allow Fury to use his experience to comfortably out-box Hall and pick up an easy points win.
Reacting to the news, one fan wrote on X: "So we’re looking at a boring Tommy unanimous decision win."
With another added: "Tommy's game plan will obviously be to run away and jab for two minutes."
Hall reveals how he is preparing for Fury fight
It's now been a year since Hall last fought as he knocked out Mariusz Pudzianowski in a super-heavyweight MMA fight last April.
Hal has only boxed once during his combat sports career, as he was stopped during his bout with strongman rival Thor Bjornsson in 2022.
Although he's excited to get back iunto the ring, he's admitted that training for the Fury fight hasn't been easy, in part due to the challenges of negotiating the bout.
He told talkSPORT: "It's been very hard, it's been going from zero to 100.
"One minute there was no fight, next minute was on so it's been a quick turnaround.
"I've gone from one session a week to four sessions a week so it's been busy.
"I've sparred Johnny Fisher last week, and I'm trying to get sparring in that is tougher than Tommy Fury."
