Eddie Hall, known as “The Beast,” has once again demonstrated his raw power, this time at the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas. The former World’s Strongest Man has shattered the previous punch record set by reigning UFC light-heavyweight champion Alex Pereira on the infamous PowerKube machine.
The PowerKube Challenge
The PowerKube is no ordinary punching machine. It measures speed, power, and endurance, providing a combined metric that accurately reflects a combat athlete’s striking force. Fighters score based on a combination of power (measured in watts) and energy (measured in joules).
Eddie Hall Broke Alex Pereira’s Record With an Impactful Punch
Eddie Hall stepped up to the challenge, and the results were jaw-dropping, he surprisingly overtook Alex Pereira’s score. With a punch force score of 208,901, Hall obliterated Alex Pereira’s previous world record of 191,796. Notably, Hall became the first athlete to produce a score above 200,000 on the PowerKube.

To put this achievement into perspective, consider that former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou held the record for several years with a score of 129,161. Ngannou is renowned for his devastating punching power, yet even he couldn’t match Hall’s incredible effort.
Boxing’s Elite Heavyweights Take Notice
Hall’s record-breaking punch has generated significant buzz. It might finally convince some of boxing’s elite heavyweights to step up and test their own punch power against the PowerKube. Achieving a score of 200,000 will be no easy feat, but fighters like Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury would surely fancy their chances of rising to the challenge.
As Eddie Hall continues to make waves both in and out of the strongman arena, his latest feat at the UFC PI cements his status as a force to be reckoned with. The world watches in awe as “The Beast” leaves his mark on combat sports history.
