The 38-year-old is ready to settle score with the Fury’s.
Eddie Hall and Tommy Fury are sharing the ring in Manchester on June 13.
Promoted as Beauty vs the Beast, the pair will meet at the top of the Misfits card live on DAZN.
The news of their match-up certainly came as a huge shock, especially due to their weight discrepancy.
With Hall weighing in at 334lbs for his previous fight in comparison to Fury, who tipped the scales at 208lbs for his.
Fans were left questioning how on earth this fight came about, and the former World’s Strongest Man has now revealed exactly that.
He said on his YouTube channel: “I bumped into John, and I had the conversation about fighting Tyson.
“I saw he was training MMA. I was trying to instigate the fight, but it rubbed him up the wrong way…
“Things got a little bit heated. You’re all full of s**t.
“You’re just all full of f***ing talk.
“You all walk around like hard men, like you’re gonna beat this guy down, beat that guy down, you’ll fight anyone, you’re fighting men.
“There’s not a lot of action, especially from John.
“I’d like to shut your dad up and put you in your place, and then maybe I’ll get the Tyson Fury MMA fight.
“Sorry it has come to this, but sometimes men have to settle their differences. This is not a friendly encounter.
“I want to go in there and prove a point.”
Despite the ongoing feud that Eddie Hall has with John Fury, it’s Tommy that he will be settling the score with.
