He incorporated a lot of explosive punches, punching boxing machines, and many athletes including gymnast Nile Wilson, pop star Peter Andre, and his training partners as hard as he can. Hall’s extensive training regime also incorporated a lot of bench presses, squats, deadlifts, medicine ball slams, and burpees.
On 19 March 2022, Hall faced Björnsson in Dubai, in a titan weight class boxing match which was tag-lined as the heaviest match in history. Hall took the better of the first couple of rounds and managed to put Björnsson down while knocking him against the ropes at the beginning of the second round. But Björnsson bludgeoned Hall and knocked him down twice to the floor in rounds three and six. Hall’s boxing stance during the fight (especially from the fourth round onwards) garnered a lot of attention because of its uniqueness, having kept distinctly leaning over to the right side mimicking the natural movement of a Fiddler Crab, trying to negate the reach and height advantage of Björnsson.
