This weekend, Tommy Fury will take on Eddie Hall in a boxing match that is sure to be eye-catching.
Fury is a former Love Island star and a half-brother of ex-heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, and the 27-year-old has built his own professional boxing career since 2018.

The Briton is 11-0 (4 KOs) and holds wins over the likes of YouTubers Jake Paul and KSI, while compatriot Hall has boxed just once, losing to fellow retired strongman Hafthor Julius Bjornsson in 2022.
