Eddie Hall & Brian Shaw vs the British Sumo Federation!

Eddie and Brian are two legends in the world of strength, and both will no doubt go down in history as two of the strongest men to have every lived. Brian Shaw is a four times World Strongest Man winner and a member of the International Sports Hall of Fame. Eddie Hall was the 2017 World's Strongest Man winner, and in 2016 became the first human being in recorded history to deadlift 500kg - smashing the previous world record of 465kg by an eye-watering 35kg!

Both men visited Steve Pateman's Sumo Gymnasium to test their strength against the British Sumo Federation and each other and you can watch the full video on Eddie Hall's Youtube account.
