Known as "The Beast," Hall is celebrated as one of the most formidable figures in strength history. His achievements include winning the World's Strongest Man title in 2017 and holding the deadlift world record for four years with a lift exceeding a ton, showcasing his exceptional strength and resilience.

The latest of Hall's impressive accomplishments was documented in a video shared by the Happy Punch profile on the X service. It displayed Hall breaking the record for the strongest punch, a moment that has thrilled fans worldwide.

The record-breaking attempt occurred at the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas, where a specialized machine measures punch force in Franklin units. This machine considers various factors, such as power and speed, to determine a punch's force accurately.

Previously, the record was held by UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira with a score of 191,796 Franklin units. Hall's punch surpassed this, hitting an astonishing 208,901 Franklin units and making him the new world record holder. The video capturing this achievement has since amassed over 3.5 million views on the X service.

Delivering powerful punches is a significant advantage in combat sports, a fact well-known to Hall. In 2022, he stepped into the boxing ring against "Game of Thrones" star Hafthor Bjornsson, known for his role as "The Mountain." Despite Hall's loss, his venture into combat sports has been a notable addition to his impressive career. Although he was slated to make his MMA debut, that particular bout has yet to occur, leaving fans eagerly anticipating his next move in combat sports.
