3 articles · Updated · MMA Fighting · Jun 13

Summary

  • Majority scores of 59-56, 58-56 and 57-57 gave Tommy Fury the heavyweight exhibition win over Eddie Hall at Manchester's AO Arena.
  • Hall, who weighed 325.6 pounds to Fury's 217.5, pressured early and appeared to take the first two rounds before fading as Fury's movement and counters took over the middle rounds.
  • The sixth round tightened the result again as Hall landed enough late offense to leave the bout level on one card, but Fury still secured the decision.
  • Post-fight, Fury praised Hall and revealed a shirt bearing his newborn son Midas' name, while Hall said he struggled to track Fury down and admitted throwing accidental backhands from MMA habits.
  • The exhibition ended in chaos when Chase DeMoor entered the ring to call out Fury, who instead pushed for a bout with brother Roman Fury before Roman swung at DeMoor.
