TYRON WOODLEY revealed wild talks to fight Eddie Hall despite their huge 13 STONE weight difference.
Woodley once held the UFC welterweight title before then making a move into boxing where he was twice beaten by Jake Paul.
Former world’s strongest man Hall, 36, lost his boxing debut against strongman rival Hafthor Bjornsson, 35, in 2022.
But he crossed over to MMA this year to defeat TikTok stars Jamil and Jamel Neffat in a crazy two-on-one bout.
And despite weighing 26 stone – compared to the 13 stone of Woodley – the two were linked with a bout.
Woodley, 42, 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.”
Woodley’s last fight in the cage was a 2021 defeat Vicente Luque, 32, which was his fourth loss in a row.
He then lost on points to YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul, 27, before getting knocked out in the rematch.

Woodley has not fought since despite talks with KSI, 31, and boxing great Floyd Mayweather, 47.
He said: “I had some guy’s b**** out. I was supposed to fight Floyd in June. It was never supposed to be [John] Gotti [III]. That fight was me originally.
“I was supposed to fight KSI in January last year. He flaked out and took Dillon Danis.”
