MMA cancellation was tough to take – but I’ll be back!
NO-ONE was more disappointed than me when my MMA debut was cancelled at the last minute earlier this month. I’d been set to take on Canadian strongman Mitchell Hooper in my MMA debut and I’d put in a massive amount of preparation for the big clash in Qatar. In essence that had been the last six months of my life. Thing is, anything can go wrong right up to the last minute of any fight and this one was no different. Needless to say I was gutted. MMA is something... Read more...
Red Alert! My MMA Debut Imminent!
OK – I’m about to throw myself back into the competitive mix – mixed martial arts that is! Why wouldn’t I? It’s one of the biggest sports – and greatest spectacles – in the world. I’m a massive fan and so testing myself in the ring is a complete no-brainer. And so there I’ll be in Qatar on Feb 17 making my MMA debut, a showdown between myself and current World’s Strongest Man Mitchell Hooper. It will be a hard battle. One of the toughest tests of my career. And... Read more...

The time has nearly come for a major landmark in my life. Taming The Beast – The Emptiness Within tells my story in a way it’s never been told before. Oh, and my old pals Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone are along for the ride.

How WSM victory was end of one road – and start of incredible journey
It took me six years from first winning England’s Strongest Man in 2011 to being crowned World’s Strongest Man in 2017. And now, unbelievably, it’s been another six years to where I am today. A lot has happened in the intervening period. And I mean A LOT! I’ve travelled the world, starred in my own TV series and several films, tried my hand at various other sports, met some incredible people, made some even more incredible friends, and, the biggest amazement of them all, become a dad again. I mean... Read more...
Expend4bles – starring me!! – in cinemas now!
You might want to get yourself down to your nearest cinema. Not only have tubs of popcorn never been bigger but yours truly is up there on the silver screen! Right now, at cinemas across the world, I’m being thrown over a bar by my old pal Sylvester Stallone and having a good old-fashioned punch-up with Jason Statham. Well, having been cast as a bartender in Expend4bles (the fourth in the all-star action movie series created by Sly) it would have been rude not to. I’m joining Megan Fox, Andy... Read more...
Eddie Hall: My Key Autumn Motivational Tips
Summer’s nearly over – did it actually ever begin? – and sometimes, as it starts getting colder, darker, and less and less inviting out there, we can become a little bit less enthusiastic about getting out and doing things. I get it! It can be hard to build the motivation to get out to the gym or put a few miles in on the bike on a wet and windy morning. I know also that we need to power on through – because it’s now more than ever that we... Read more...
Check out my YouTube channel for some crazy Eddie antics!
YOU might recently have seen footage of me cracking open a storage unit I bought at auction. It wasn’t, as you might think, my latest feat of strength. Actually, for a good while I’ve enjoyed the adventure of finding out just what the hell is inside these things. Of course, there’s a risk involved. You could shell out a five-figure sum, break open the lock, and find nothing but a load of old bric-a-brac. On the other hand – and this is what keeps me intrigued – you might take... Read more...
Sumo success gives potential glimpse of the future
It’s not the most flattering of outfits, but getting the Sumo gear on has been one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life. I’m always up for something new and sumo has always caught my eye, being a sport based on skill and strength. I’d bet on myself to be able to move any object of a certain size, so there’s no reason a sumo wrestler should be any different. I put on the mawashi – as the sumo gear is called – in a UK sumo gym. I’ve... Read more...
Alexandra the Great!
PEOPLE describe you as ‘tough’ when you’re a strongman. They use words like ‘unbelievable’ when they see you pulling a train or carrying an atlas ball. But then, in real life, you see what these words really mean. I tell you now, nothing I have ever done as a strongman could ever for one minute match how tough and unbelievable you have to be to be pregnant. It’s no secret that my wife Alexandra and I are expecting a baby. It’s the most incredible news and the kindness and enthusiasm... Read more...
HOW I TAUGHT TOMMY FURY A LESSON HE’LL NEVER FORGET!
Having already knocked Tyson Fury out (OK it was in a computer game!), I thought I’d turn my attention to his brother Tommy.While boxing and strongman are different in a thousand ways, they also have one vital element in common – targeted use of strength. We put each other’s skills to the test by trading body shots. I think we were both a bit nervous about really letting loose with the best we’ve got – but we found it within ourselves to give it a go! To be fair to... Read more...
