From Eddie 'The Beast' Hall, the winner of World's Strongest Man 2017 and the man who pulled half a tonne off the floor when everybody else said it was impossible, comes The World's Strongest Book. Impossible is a recurring theme in Eddie's life - from the streets of Stoke-on-Trent to the pinnacle of Strongman - at every step on his journey he has blasted through the obstacles in his way. Now he faces a mountain - or rather The Mountain. Eddie brings readers behind the scenes and into the heart of his training camp as he prepares for his greatest challenge yet - a boxing ring showdown with his nemesis, Hafthor Bjornsson.

Eddie Hall was born in Stoke-on-Trent in 1988. His athletic career started as a National Championship swimmer and then he turned his attention to the gym at 15. On leaving school, he worked as a truck mechanic until he was 26, when he became a professional Strongman. Eddie then dedicated his life to becoming the world's strongest man, which he achieved in 2017. In 2022 Eddie will take on his nemesis Thor in what is billed as 'The Heaviest Boxing Match in History'.
