Eddie Hall has confirmed that his next mixed martial arts bout is scheduled for the end of September, with the location expected to be in Texas, following his April 2025 debut victory and a boxing defeat to Tommy Fury.
Late-September return in Texas
During a recent appearance on the Cars & Money podcast, Hall revealed that he is “fighting one person at the end of September,” although he stopped short of naming his opponent. The former World’s Strongest Man said an official announcement is imminent but stressed that details remain under wraps until contracts are finalised. He indicated that the bout would “hopefully” take place in Texas, marking his first MMA outing since the 30-second knockout win over Mariusz Pudzianowski at KSW 105 in April 2025.
Missed Dillon Danis opportunity
Hall had spent much of the past year campaigning for a high-profile fight with Dillon Danis. The two men even staged a face-off and agreed on a 300lb weight limit for a clash originally targeted for August 2025. However, Danis has since accepted a main-event slot against Mike Perry for a new promotion’s show in Orlando, Florida, later this month. That booking appears to have shelved any immediate prospects of Hall vs Danis for 2026.
Mixed martial arts and boxing highlights
Hall made his MMA debut at KSW 105, demolishing five-time World’s Strongest Man Mariusz Pudzianowski in just 30 seconds. Since then, his only contest outside the cage was a boxing match against Tommy Fury, which he lost via majority decision. The September return represents Hall’s first foray back into mixed martial arts since stepping into the boxing ring, as he seeks to build on his 1–0 professional MMA record.
With details still pending, Hall’s announcement has stirred interest in what the former strongman can achieve in his second MMA appearance. Fans will be watching closely for the official confirmation of opponent, venue and promotion over the coming weeks.
