Eddie Hall's search for an opponent started immediately after his debut gain.
The 'World's Strongest Man' of 2017 enjoyed a hugely successful MMA debut on KSW 105 in April.
Eddie Hall has eliminated Mariusz Pudzianowski, who is a five-time 'World's Strongest Man' winner and 28-Fight MMA veteran, in just 30 seconds.
After the fight, he spoke a rematch before he focused his attention on a potential collision with Francis Ngannou after he had previously divided himself from a fight with the former UFC Heavyweight Champion.

Butterbean evokes Eddie Hall
Box icon Butterbean – real name Eric Esch – will retire in 2025.
Jake Paul is at the top of his hit list, which also contains heavyweight legends Brock Lesnar and Mike Tyson.
Butterbean suffered a humiliating defeat of 75 seconds when he fought against Pudzianowski in MMA 15 years ago.
Yet the 58-year-old depicts his chances in a rematch with the Polish superstar or the man who recently defeated him.
“I would like to fight Pudzianowski again,” said Butterbean during an exclusive interview with Bloody Elbow.
“I would also like to fight Hall. If Hall wants to fight in a boxing match, I am a game.
“If he thinks he is tough, I would show him who is tough.”
Butterbean excludes MMA -Comeback
Butterbean insists that a fight against Eddie Hall should take place under boxing rules.
Although it points to a 'crazy' rule everything that prevented him from fighting during his MMA run in the UFC, Esch revealed that he has undergone a double hip replacement operation, which prevents him from returning to the sport.
“I fought in Pride, K1 and cage anger. I fought in almost all except the UFC because they have this crazy rule that you have to be less than 265 pounds,” said Butterbean.
“Come on, boys. Now I could get there. I am now at 280 pounds and I could go to 260 if they let me fight. But with my new hips I can't fight UFC.”
It is currently unclear whether Hall would entertain a boxing efficiency after he had previously lost to Thor Bjornsson in his ring debut from 2022.
