The gorgeous bout, which will headline Manchester on June 13, can be staged by Misfits Boxing and can be labeled as a crossover bout.
Between Hall and Fury, there’s a staggering 130lbs weight distinction, with many merely questioning how the bout may even happen.
But the strongman has now revealed to talkSPORT.com precisely how the fight can be sanctioned.
He defined: “The fight can be with 12oz gloves and can be six, two-minute rounds.
“I’ll weigh in at no matter weight I’m now to be trustworthy. As lengthy as I’m match and in form.
“It will probably be around the 150kg mark, there is no weight limit.
“With my weight-reduction plan, I’ve been a carnivore for some time now, so can be sticking to meat, eggs and dairy.”
Hall will fancy his own chances, given there are not many official rules in place to prevent him from being at his physical peak.
He will be allowed to fight at his traditional weight, and will not need to shed the pounds and weaken himself for the clash.
The short format will also help Hall, who will likely be looking to end the contest early and load up with powerful shots.
Tommy Fury vs Eddie Hall rules
Weight: No limit 🥊
Gloves: 12oz 🥊
Rounds: 6 x two minute 🥊
Fury has far more experience in the squared circle, and will be more versed physically to go the distance.
And it will be interesting what mark the far lighter Fury weighs in at, given he normally lurks around the cruiserweight limit of 200lbs.
Hall on training camp and preparations
The Briton will face just his second boxing training camp of his career.
Hall went through the rigours of full training for his clash with Thor Bjornsson, where he was dropped and stopped in 2022.
‘Beast’ had torn his bicep and was struggling with injury, whereas he is currently at full health now.
Although he has admitted things have been tough already, two months out from the bout.

He continued: “It’s been very exhausting, it has been going from zero to 100.
“One minute there was no fight, subsequent minute was on so it has been a fast turnaround.
“I’ve gone from one session per week to 4 classes per week so it has been busy.
“I’ve sparred Johnny Fisher last week, and I’m trying to get sparring in that is tougher than Tommy Fury.”
