Hall will be giving up close to 16 years' worth of combat experience to Pudzianowski in the Polish punch-up and has attempted to bridge the gap with some help from interim UFC heavyweight champion .

And Aspinall, who is gearing up for a clash with , hasn't taken it easy on Hall during any of their training sessions over the last year.

During an interview with Bloody Elbow, Hall recalled: “You just feel like a little girl.

“Even a man my size, he just uses your strengths against you and his hands are so fast.

“His footwork is just incredible. “You just feel like a f***ing f***y to go in the ring and doing business with Tom Aspinall.

“And that’s me, that’s like a ‘World’s Strongest Man’ saying that.

“It’s a very humbling experience going in the ring with Tom.”;

Hall's combat experience is limited to a match against fellow strongman and a freak show 2-1 MMA bout.

So his nerves are well and truly jangling ahead of his clash with KSW veteran Pudzidanowski.

The 37-year-old said: “I think being scared is a very natural trait.

“Even going into my strongman, you’d be scared, you’d be nervous.

“If you’re not scared, you’re not nervous, then something’s not right.

“I’ve got a lot to be scared of. “Let’s face it, I’m going up against Mariusz Pudzianowski; 26 professional fights, five times World’s Strongest Man.

“He’s a fierce, fierce man and to get in the cage and exchange leather with a man whose had 26 fights? I’ve had one!

“So I’ve got a lot to be scared of and the four-minute rounds has been a tough thing for me to accept as well.

“He’s got a lot of advantages but I’ve said ‘sod it’, why not let him have four minute rounds? Let’s just get this done.”;
