Tommy Fury and Eddie Hall face off today, June 13, 2026, in a heavyweight exhibition bout titled “Beauty vs The Beast” at the AO Arena in Manchester, England. The six-round contest headlines the Misfits Boxing 27 card, with ring walks for the main event expected at approximately 10:32 PM BST.
This clash serves as a massive physical spectacle, featuring a confirmed weight disparity of 108.1 pounds between the professional boxer and the former World’s Strongest Man.
At the official weigh-ins on Friday, Eddie Hall tipped the scales at 325.6 pounds (147.7 kg). Tommy Fury, the younger half-brother of Tyson Fury, recorded a career-high weight of 217.5 pounds (98.7 kg). Despite being significantly outweighed, Fury carries an undefeated 11-0 professional record into the ring.
Because this is an exhibition match, both fighters will wear 14oz gloves, and the final result will not impact their official professional boxing records.
The event takes place at the 23,000-capacity AO Arena, a venue that held the title of the United Kingdom’s largest arena until the opening of Co-op Live in 2024. This return to Manchester highlights the growing scale of crossover boxing events. Much like how pioneering figures in the UFC shifted combat sports toward mainstream entertainment, Misfits Boxing continues to blend traditional athletics with influencer-driven promotion.
Weight dynamics and tactical challenges in the main event
The 108-pound gap presents a unique challenge for both participants. Eddie Hall brings the legendary strength that saw him become a world champion powerlifter, but he must now apply that mass over six two-minute rounds. Both men fight out of an orthodox stance, but their physical profiles couldn’t be more different.
Fury must rely on the technical pedigree that has seen him defeat opponents like Jake Paul to navigate Hall’s raw power.
Strategy will be paramount under the AO Arena lights. While Hall aims to land a decisive blow using his 325-pound frame, Fury is expected to utilize his superior movement and reach. The atmosphere in Manchester is already charged following reports that Darren Till was barred from the event after a dispute with John Fury.
These tensions often mirror the high stakes seen when elite competitors meet in high-stakes arenas for major sporting showcases.
