Eddie Hall Issues Apology for Striking Mariusz Pudzianowski in the Back of the Head
Harry Kettle – April 29, 2025
Eddie Hall has expressed regret for landing shots to the back of the head of former five-time World’s Strongest Man Mariusz Pudzianowski during their KSW fight.
Known for his incredible displays of strength, Eddie Hall achieved his goal of becoming the World’s Strongest Man before transitioning into combat sports. In a recent KSW matchup against fellow WSM champion Mariusz Pudzianowski, Hall secured a quick TKO victory. However, he faced criticism for some of the strikes to the back of Pudzianowski’s head during the fight.
In a TikTok video, Hall addressed the incident, acknowledging his mistake and apologizing for his actions in his MMA debut.
During a post-fight interview on TikTok, Hall admitted, “My bad. I thought you have your drink, and then the referee says the rules, and then you touch gloves. It’s different here in Poland. My apologies. That’s my inexperience. Obviously, when he was on the floor, I was just hammerfisting. You just lose — again, my apologies, my first fight. I think I hit him once or twice in the back of the head. Then I heard the ref shout at me, and it clicked, and then I went back to the face. So again, my apologies. My experience — I wouldn’t like to be hit in the back of the head, so I’m sorry, Mariusz. But these things happen. It was an accident.”
