Tyron Woodley has revealed there were talks for him to take on the former ‘Word’s strongest man’, Eddie Hall.
The former UFC welterweight champion has moved over to influencer boxing since leaving the organisation where he has faced Jake Paul twice.
In their last meeting though he was brutally knocked out.

Hall himself has moved into boxing and MMA where he lost his boxing debut against fellow strongman rival Hafthor Bjornsson.
Last time out he was involved in a bizarre 2 vs 1 MMA bout where he went viral for slamming and knocking out one of his opponents.

One fight that no-one ever expected to be on the cards was a Hall vs. Woodley MMA fight but sensationally the later has revealed talks did take place for a fight in Ireland.
But he declined the offer because of the short notice he was given for the event.
Woodley told Overdogs Podcast: “I’m not down for these three-week notice fights to build somebody else’s name up.
“You see the heavyweight dude that fought two motherf***ers at one time, 365[lbs]?
“Motherf***er asked me to fight this dude on three weeks’ notice in Ireland in MMA.”
