Hall speaks on illegal move
Eddie Hall has apologised to rival Mariusz Pudzianowski for an illegal move.
The British bruiser scored a stunning upset victory on his professional mixed martial arts debut.
Hall went head to head with the rival Polish World Strongest Man winner on a stacked KSW 105 card in Poland on Saturday night.
And despite pre-fight predictions tipping Pudzianowski as the favourite, those ideas were knocked flat within 30 seconds.
The Beast overcame the 16-year difference in experience to KO his opponent within 30 seconds.
He landed a big right hand after pressing the Polish icon against the cage, with the 48-year-old then wobbling and allowing Hall to drop bomb after bomb on a fallen Pudzianowski.
The referee then mercifully waved off the contest, but not before Hall had broken his hand in the process.
However, after the fight Hall issued an apology to Pudzianowski for hitting him in the back of the head.
He confessed: "I do hold my hands up when I say, 'I'm sorry for hitting you in the back of the head'.
"I don't condone that, and I wouldn't want it done to me."

An incredible rematch. I, for one, want to see them run it back again.
They go the distance!
That's one of the best fights I've had the privilege of being at.
Incredible performance from Bartonsinski vs Grzebyk. I'm not sure who takes that.
But one thing's for sure, they have to run it back.
Bartonsinski vs Grzebyk – Round 4
Despite his horrific injury, Bartonsinski is still grappling and using his left arm.
But it's dangerously low when they're not clinching.
How Grzebyk hasn't picked up on the injury and isn't throwing right hooks and right head kicks is beyond me.
