Tommy Fury Vs Eddie Hall: Manchester heavyweight exhibition set for June 13

and are scheduled to meet in a heavyweight exhibition at AO Arena in Manchester on Saturday, June 13, with free-to-watch prelims and coverage starting at 1 p.m. ET and the main event slated to begin around 4:27 p.m. ET.

Friday's official weigh-in underlined how unusual this matchup is: Fury stepped on the scale at 217.5 pounds while Hall came in at 325.6 pounds. That places the two fighters more than 100 pounds apart entering the ring, a disparity that will define the look and likely the storyline of the night.

The bout has been described as a six-round exhibition contest in the heavyweight division, though the card lists the main event timing as a 12-round start near 4:27 p.m. ET. Promoted by , the event is being carried by as a pay-per-view, with the broadcast and prelims accessible to viewers beginning at 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT, 6 p.m. BST).

DAZN subscribers can buy the pay-per-view for $59.99; viewers considering a longer subscription can also choose DAZN’s Ultimate Tier at $49.99 per month. Free-to-watch prelims provide a window into the undercard before the main attraction.

On paper the matchup reads like a study in contrasts. Fury arrives with an 11-0 professional record and carries the credentials of an undefeated boxer. Hall, who won the World’s Strongest Man title in 2017 and is best known for his feats of strength, holds a 0-1-0 professional boxing record. Those two lines — Fury’s unblemished record and Hall’s strength-sports résumé — are the core friction of the card.

Context matters here. Fury typically fights around the low-200-pound mark while Hall has historically camped near the 330-pound range. That combination of experience advantage for Fury and sheer mass for Hall frames the central question of the night: whether boxing polish or brute size will prove decisive in a controlled exhibition setting.

The matchup’s billing as an exhibition complicates how to read the stakes. Exhibition fights can limit damage with shorter rounds, softer pacing or handshake finishes; they can also be staged as spectacles that test curiosity rather than rankings. For fans tuning in at 1 p.m. ET, the evening will move from prelims into the undercard and, later, a main event scheduled to begin near 4:27 p.m. ET.

Practical details for viewers: DAZN is the platform carrying the pay-per-view. Prelims are free to watch starting at 1 p.m. ET. The main event timing crosses multiple U.S. zones — 1 p.m. ET corresponds to 10 a.m. PT — and will also play in primetime for U.K. audiences at around 6 p.m. BST.

The fight leaves one question as the single, sharpening point of the card: can Fury’s undefeated boxing resume overcome more than 100 pounds of size and the raw power that made Hall a World’s Strongest Man winner, or will Hall’s mass and strength upset the expected order in an exhibition setting? That unresolved clash of size and experience is what will decide whether the evening reads as a sporting contest or a one-off spectacle.
