WOW! World’s Strongest Man Fails To Hit Francis Ngannou’s Power Level

Eddie Hall is set to take on Hafthor Bjornsson in a boxing match recently. Hall holds the record for being the world’s strongest man. He recently tried to match the world’s strongest punch recorded by UFC heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou.

‘The Predator’ has a punch power equivalent to 96 HP or 129,000 units. Former world’s strongest man, Hall went to Powerkube and he displayed some impressive results for the test. His best shot was metered at 113,999 units. It didn’t quite match up to Ngannou’s effort. However, Hall wasn’t too far away to be fair to him.

“So the world record is held by a guy called Francis Ngannou. I’ve seen a video of him and he’s an absolute monster,” said Hall afterward. “As he stood, his hands were touching his knees. He has one of the biggest reaches I’ve ever seen,” he added further.

“He holds to world record. It’s measured by the speed, force and a few other factors. He hit 129,000 units. That is the hardest hit on the planet,” Hall continued. “He’s a UFC title holder and has one of the hardest bangs on the planet 10 per cent off the world’s hardest punch we know of. Now I know what I’m doing, I think I can come back and smash that,” he concluded.

It was a great feat by Hall, to say the least. He is a specimen in his own right. Hall will look to register a win when he steps inside the squared ring against Bjornsson in the near future.

what’s next for Francis Ngannou in the UFC?

Ngannou was expected to defend his title against Derrick Lewis next. However, the UFC has booked Lewis and Gane to fight next with the interim heavyweight championship on the line.

That decision has caused some outrage from Ngannou’s team. They believe the promotion hasn’t done the right thing as they didn’t wait for Ngannou to return to training. Nevertheless, one can expect ‘The Predator’ to be back on the horse soon. Who he defends his title against for the first time, remains to be seen.
