World’s Strongest Man Eddie Hall revealed through his YouTube channel that he will step into the cage against five-time World’s Strongest Man champion Mariusz Pudzianowski at KSW 105.
The monumental clash is scheduled for April 26th, 2025, at the PreZero Arena in Gliwice, Poland, bringing together two of the most powerful athletes ever to compete in professional sports.
Hall, standing at 6’2″ (188 cm) and weighing approximately 313 lbs (142 kg), will face the slightly shorter but equally imposing Pudzianowski, who stands 6’1″ (185 cm). Pudzianowski has competed at various weights throughout his career, ranging from 256 lbs (116 kg) in his combat sports career to 313 lbs (142 kg) during his strongman days.
The contest will feature a unique format with 4-minute rounds, potentially favoring Hall’s explosive power while testing his endurance against the more experienced Pudzianowski, who brings a professional record of 17-9 and extensive background in kyokushin karate and Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
This matchup represents a significant step up in competition for Hall, who previously impressed audiences with a victory over the Neffati Brothers in a 2-versus-1 contest during his combat sports debut. He has also ventured into boxing, demonstrating his versatility as an athlete.
KSW has reportedly sent contracts to both competitors, setting the stage for what promises to be one of the most anticipated sporting events of 2025. The combined achievements of these athletes, including six World’s Strongest Man titles between them, make this an unprecedented meeting of legendary strength athletes in professional competition.
Fans worldwide are eagerly anticipating this clash of titans, which will showcase an extraordinary display of athletic prowess when these two powerhouses meet in Poland next spring.
