This article provides a preview of the highly anticipated KSW 105 event featuring the clash between Eddie Hall and Mariusz Pudzianowski, billed as the “World’s Strongest Fight.” The event is set to take place on Saturday at the PreZero Arena in Gliwice, Poland.
Eddie Hall, the 2017 World`s Strongest Man champion, is also recognized as the first person in history to successfully deadlift 500 kg. After retiring from strongman competitions in 2018, Hall has explored various other pursuits, including combat sports. In 2022, he participated in a boxing match against fellow former World`s Strongest Man, Hafthor Bjornsson, which he lost by unanimous decision. Last year, Hall made his entry into mixed martial arts with an unconventional bout against two opponents simultaneously, producing a highlight that quickly went viral in 2024. This unique MMA appearance set the stage for his upcoming battle against Pudzianowski.
Mariusz Pudzianowski is widely celebrated as one of the greatest strongmen of all time, holding five World’s Strongest Man titles alongside numerous other accolades in the sport. Pudzianowski shifted his athletic focus to mixed martial arts in 2009. While some initially predicted his foray into MMA would be brief, he has instead become a prominent figure for KSW for nearly 15 years, competing in 26 bouts within the promotion. This extensive experience in MMA gives Pudzianowski a considerable advantage over Hall in Saturday`s contest.
