Tommy Fury almost made ex-World's Strongest Man Eddie Hall sick with a body shot as the pair trained together for a recent YouTube video.
Cruiserweight boxer Fury has been basking in the glory of his recent win over Jake Paul, which has propelled him to a new level of stardom after years of being known as a Love Island star and the brother of heavyweight champion Tyson. And he spent some time with strongman Hall in the aftermath of his victory, learning how the 25-stone behemoth eats and trains.
The pair 'swapped diets' for the day, with Fury attempting the high-calorie habits of Hall while the strongman ate like a boxer who is out of camp. And when it came time for the duo to train the pair decided to engage in a body shot challenge in which they hit each other as hard as possible in the stomach.
Fury, who lost out on his initial meeting with Paul after a similar stunt went wrong in his gym and left him with broken ribs, wore protective padding, which Hall initially did as well before opting to test out a full force punch from the boxer. And the punch from Fury, who last tipped the scales over 168lb lighter than Hall, left him wincing as he almost threw up.
For his part, Fury took Hall's body punch well, although he did have protective padding. When the pads came off, he opted just to take a punch to the arm, which he appeared to be hurt by as the pair decided to end their session and go for a high-calorie lunch.

"Most people quiver at that so fair play," the giant strongman can be seen telling Fury in the video, who jokes that he has "got a sweat on" through simply anticipating the heavy punch. Hall then brags that his biggest power punch, a looping overhand right, measured just behind Francis Ngannou, the UFC's heaviest ever hitter, on a machine.

When Fury punches Hall without padding, following a relatively uneventful moment with it, the strongman can be seen doubling over and struggling to keep in belches. The pair had indulged in a heavy breakfast, and he joked that he was going to be seeing it again after taking a big shot from the 9-0 boxer.
Hall has dabbled with boxing in the past, taking on Thor Bjornsson in an heated grudge fight in March of last year. He lost a decision despite putting his rival down multiple times, but appears to have bulked back up in order to pursue strongman again instead of staying trim for boxing.
Meanwhile, Fury joked in the video that he had piled on three stone since his fight with Paul, where he tipped the scales at 184.5lb. He is expected back in the ring later this year, after becoming an infinitely bigger star since defeating notorious heel Paul in Saudi Arabia.
