@Eddie Hall started the fight aggressively and put Tommy Fury under heavy pressure right from the start. Thanks to his immense physical strength, he was able to win the first two rounds. However, this changed starting in the third round. As Eddie Hall visibly began to tire, Tommy Fury found himself with good opportunities, which he was able to capitalize on thanks to his speed and experience.

he said in closing.

Personally, I'm a little surprised by the result. I think it's amazing how well Tommy Fury defended against Eddie Hall attacks and countered them so effectively. Still, I found it really interesting to watch a fight like this, especially given the big weight difference. But I'm really happy for Tommy Fury, and I think he put in a great performance.
