    Then won WSM on his first attempt in a stacked field.

    Pretty sure this was just a stunt for the cameras between friends. Unless I missed something this must have been a one time thing and in no way is Eddie Hall a actual sparring partner.

    If there was a vid of Eddie showing Fury how to improve his deadlift technique that does not mean they are training partners.

    No he didn't.

    It was his 6th attempt.

    I think I remember reading/hearing something about Hughie wanting to improve his strength and that's why Eddie Hall was invited to the gym. The "sparring" footage could be old, here's a tweet from January this year showing them together:

    Sadly there is still no TV finalized for Hughie - Parker.

    And less than 3 weeks out.

    Imagine if Kaz came up this day and age. That would be interesting.

    Yeah but WSM winners and guys at the top have to be around 400lbs now! Guys used to win WSM under 300 over 20 years ago and they have just kept getting bigger.

    FYI there is no drug testing in professional strong man so you can be assured it is a level playing field and although a niche sport it is more on the level than most other sports.

    Yeah, just a bit of fun I'm sure. No doubt Fury is taking this seriously and he has a good chance of winning.
