The Tommy Fury vs Eddie Hall undercard has been dealt a blow after BDave withdrew from his scheduled bout against Swarmz due to injury. The bizarre crossover fight between former Love Island star Fury and former World's Strongest Man Hall is set to take place in Manchester on Saturday night. The undercard is filled with social media personalities, but Swarmz will now face a new opponent after BDave pulled out.
BDave's Injury Explained
The entire card was scheduled for a workout last night, but BDave was absent. He later took to social media to explain why. "About three days before I was supposed to fly down to Manchester I was making some dinner, in amazing shape and on weight," he wrote. "After nine weeks of two a days I fell down the stairs like a r***** and pinched a nerve in my back and bruised my ribs. I currently can't punch or move my head at all. Anything more than a normal walk is extremely painful. I was really looking forward to fighting Swarmz and worked so hard. I'm sorry to Swarmz and misfits anyone that was looking forward to this."
Swarmz Responds
Swarmz immediately responded, showing little grace. "BDave ducked me. Everyone just saying I think he's really scared of black guys. I've been humble this whole time. The show will still go on," he said.
Hall's Future in Fighting
Eddie Hall also opted not to work out in front of fans on Wednesday night but is still expected to face Fury this weekend. The 38-year-old has revealed he has less than two years left in combat sports. "In just fights in general, I think I've got another two years in me," Hall told Playbook Boxing. "I'm 40 in two years. I think that's the age where any human being shouldn't be getting hit in the head after 40. That's my timeframe. And whether that gets filled with boxing, MMA, bare-knuckle, whatever. In essence, what I want to do is go out, put my name on the map, put a bit of money in the bank, and if I can finish on a bang, that would be a massive positive for me."
