Tyson Fury can put fear in any of the boxers fighting today. And it is an even more absurd premise when it comes to some non-boxer taking on the heavyweight behemoth. Recently, Eddie Hall, the world’s strongest man, claimed to win over ‘The Gypsy King’ in a fight. However, it is a real fight, but of a video game simulation. Although the game was realistic, fans were not able to see the differences between the game and reality. The news was put out by Strokes stent live on their Facebook page. Unsurprisingly, the news has created havoc among fans. And this is not the first time Eddie Hall has shown his interest in the pugilistic art form.
