The former champion of the prestigious World’s Strongest Man competition, has one professional bout under his belt – a defeat to Icelander Hafthor Bjornsson, known for playing The Mountain in Game of Thrones, in 2022.

Hall will be aiming to secure his first victory – and could enter the bout with a staggering ten stone weight advantage over Fury.

When Fury last fought, he weighed in at just under 90kg. In contrast, Hall has tipped the scales at more than double that during his strongman days and trimmed down to 152kg for an MMA contest last year.

Hall was spotted at Darren Till’s Gorilla Promotions in Birmingham on Sunday, where he teased the upcoming announcement.

“I’ve got a fight coming up on June 13 in Manchester that’ll be announced very, very soon,” he said. “I want to get in there, of course [as soon as possible].

“I’ve got a big fight coming up. It will be on Misfits… I’ve been told the Dillon Danis fight will happen before the end of the year, so let’s make it happen.”

As for Fury, he beat Kenan Hanjalic by unanimous decision in Budapest back in May 2025, and had been in line to fight former UFC star Darren Till before the fight collapsed.

Tiger Woods charged with driving under influence after horror rollover crash involving two vehicles

Published

on

Daily Record

The crash happened at around 2pm local time in the same town in which Woods lives.

Tiger Woods has been charged with driving under the influence, property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test after being involved in a car crash in Florida, Sheriff John Budensiek from the Martin County Sheriff’s Office has said.

The crash happened at around 2pm local time in the same town in which Woods lives. The golf star will remain in custody for at least eight hours from his arrest.

Sheriff John Budensiek of the Martin County Sheriff’s Office in Florida said: “He was cooperative, but he did not want to incriminate himself.”

The 50-year-old crawled out of the passenger door of his vehicle after his car landed on the driver’s side. Woods emerged from the incident without injury and had been trying to overtake ‘at a high rate of speed’.

Woods was taken to the Martin County jail after appearing ‘impaired’. He refused a urine test, with officials on the scene believing he was under the effects of ‘some type of medication or drug’.

The Sheriff believes it is fortunate that no vehicle had been travelling in the opposite direct at the time. “Had there been someone moving in the opposite direction, we would not be having a conversation saying there was no injuries,” he said. “This could’ve been a lot worse.”

Hours before the crash, it had been reported that Woods had officially put himself forward ‌for the 46th US Senior Open in July. Though a USGA spokesperson said that the golf icon “will not make a decision about playing until ‌a later date”

They added that the 50-year-old had entered the championship “simply to ensure eligibility”.

Woods is in the midst of a comeback, having not played on the PGA Tour since July 2024. Earlier in March, he did not rule out the possibility of attending the Masters.

“It [the body] doesn’t recover like it did when it was 24, 25. It doesn’t mean I’m not trying [to return]. I’ve been trying for a while. I’ve had a couple bad injuries here over the past years that I’ve had to fight through and it’s taken some time.

“I keep trying. I want to play. I love the tournament. I’ve loved being there since I was 19 years old. It’s meant a lot to me and my family over the years. I’m going to be there either way with The Loop that’s going up there, as well as the Champions Dinner.”

“I don’t know, we’ll see how it goes,” he added. “I’ll be practising, playing at home this week and keep trying to make progress.”

US president Donald Trump called Woods as a “very close friend of mine” when asked about the incident. “I feel so badly,” he said. “He’s got some difficulty. There was an accident, and that’s all I know.“Very close friend of mine. He’s an amazing person. Amazing man. But, some difficulty. I don’t want to talk about it.”

Beyond Paradise returned for series four on Friday night but fans were disappointed to learn about a show exit

Beyond Paradise fans were left disappointed on Friday’s opening episode of series four as a show exit was confirmed.

During the latest instalment, Humphrey Goodman, played by Kris Marshall, was called into a meeting at South West police station, where he was surprised to be met with a new member of staff.

A gentleman introduced himself as James Smith to which Humphrey admitted: “Sorry, I was expecting Chief Superintendent [Charlie] Woods.”

To which James responded: “No longer with us, I’m afraid. Oh, not deceased, in Dartmouth! Some might argue they’re much the same thing…”

James then delivered some devastating news, telling Humphrey that he needed to streamline and cut down Shipton Abbott Police Station.

Humphrey was left baffled, pointing out there are only four members of staff to which James responded: “There should only be three!”, adding it would be Humphrey’s decision about who is made redundant.

Viewers were left gutted over the disappearance of Chief Superintendent Charlie Woods, played by Jade Harrison. Taking to Twitter, now X, one person said: “SUPERINTENDENT WOODS IS GONE!!! Days ruined now… #BeyondParadise” while a different account put: “I’m disappointed about Charlie going. I liked her #BeyondParadise.”

Elsewhere, another show watcher commented: “I’m sorry about that. I liked Charlie. She was a good boss and friend. And I liked her and Kelby #BeyondParadise” to which a different fan responded: “Me too” with crying emojis.

Discussing his co-star’s departure and the necessity to dismiss a team member, Humphrey star Kris exclusively revealed to Reach PLC, “I mean, there always has to be some kind of challenge for Humphrey in terms of, because, like I said, you know, otherwise he just wanders around.

“I mean, it’s that paradox, isn’t it, about TV detectives, they’re sort of fish out of water, they don’t really like rules, and yet they exist in one of the most sort of institutional, authoritarian, hierarchies, the police force.

“He hates any kind of authority, he hates rules, he hates being told what he has to do, and so it’s thrust upon him, and it literally comes knocking on his door as it does.

“You know, he really detests that, really dislikes it, and he doesn’t like the pressure.”

Beyond Paradise returns this Friday at 8pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

Budensiek said: “The DUI investigators came to the scene and Mr Woods did exemplify signs of impairment.

“They did several tests on him. He did explain the injuries and surgeries that he’s had and we did take that into account, but they did so some in-depth roadside tests.

“When it was determined, he was placed under arrest and taken to the Martin County jail.

“At the Martin County jail, and even on scene, we were really not suspicious of alcohol being involved in this case and that proved to be true.

It is understood that police are currently looking into the incident, with a county sheriff expected to address the media at 5pm ET. This follows Woods being involved in a single-car accident in southern California in 2021, in which he sustained serious leg injuries when his vehicle rolled multiple times.

He subsequently underwent surgery on ‘open fractures’ to his right leg, had a rod inserted into his tibia, and screws and pins fitted to his foot and ankle. He also required further surgery on injuries related to the crash in April 2023.

This comes as Woods had been working towards his long-awaited comeback to professional golf, following a year-long absence due to a series of injuries. The 50-year-old’s most recent competitive appearance came at the 2024 Open, where he failed to make the cut.

Woods subsequently underwent lumbar disc replacement surgery, before suffering a further blow in the shape of a ruptured Achilles tendon last year while training ahead of the Masters. Speaking recently about a potential comeback at Augusta National next month, Woods said: “I said I’ve been working on it.”.

Tiger Woods looks on

Golf star Tiger Woods has been involved in a car crash in Florida, police have confirmed.

The Martin County Sheriff’s Office is actively investigating the collision on Jupiter Island, which took place on Friday just after 14:00 local time (about 19:00 GMT).

The BBC’s US media partner CBS, external says a source at Martin County Fire Rescue confirmed it was a two-car crash – with one vehicle rolling over.

One person is stable, while another refused to go to hospital. Woods’ condition is not yet known as no further details have been released.

Police are scheduled to give an update at about 21:00 GMT.

This is not the first time Woods, 50, has been involved in a car accident – the 15-time major champion has played a limited schedule since a 2021 crash that left him with extensive injuries and fortunate to be alive.

In 2017 police officers found him slumped at the wheel of his parked Mercedes-Benz not far from his Florida home.

A toxicology report found Woods had several legal medications in his system and marijuana’s active ingredient, and he was sentenced to a year’s probation after pleading guilty to reckless driving.

In 2009 Woods hit a fire hydrant, a tree, and several hedges in a bizarre collision outside his home.

The incident sparked accusations of extramarital affairs which led to the end of his seven-year marriage and the loss of lucrative sponsorship deals.

The BBC has contacted Woods’ representatives for comment.

“Thousands of pounds worth of illicit material from hitting the streets – derailing future criminal endeavours for the cultivation and supply of drugs in the City of Manchester and further afield.

MOVIE REVIEW: We head into space with Ryan Gosling in ‘Project Hail Mary’

Published

on

Daily Record

Perilous journey has heart, humour and horror alongaside brilliant bond between leading man and rock puppet.

Having read, and been a big fan of, Andy Weir’s Project Hail Mary book, I was really looking forward to seeing what The Lego Movie and 22 Jump Street co-directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller would do with the magical material.

Advertisement

I was slightly fearful that, given the helmers’ comedic background, they would turn things into too much of a joke as there was some really serious stuff going down in Weir’s work.

Fortunately, they stay clear of overdoing the humour while still dishing out a number of genuinely hilarious moments.

It was a wise move getting writer Drew Goddard on board as he did a wonderful job with the 2015 movie adaptation of Weir’s The Martian .

Ryan Gosling plays science teacher Ryland Grace who wakes up alone on a spaceship light-years from Earth.

Advertisement

As his memory slowly returns, he uncovers a mission to stop a mysterious substance killing the sun – and save Earth.

Gosling was an inspired, perfect choice as Ryland . Whether mystified or terrified, charming and jokey or serious and stern, this a flawed, definitively human protagonist thrust into out-of-this-world experiences.

Also perfect was the move to use puppetry and animatronics to bring Ryland’s alien buddy Rocky (James Ortiz) to life.

This lends Rocky a realness CGI couldn’t match and the central relationship between Ryland and Rocky , which we witness fully rendered from start to finish, is achingly beautiful.

READ MORE: MOVIE REVIEW: We see if horror ‘Whistle’ hits the right notes

Flashbacks fill in the gaps for Ryland and the audience, and feature a multi-layered turn from Sandra Hüller ( Eva ), although much of the science speak may fly over your head.

The visuals are stunning but, inevitably, evoke comparisons with other genre flicks Interstellar , Gravity and the aforementioned The Martian .

The climax is a suitably tense race-against-time mixed with friendship at its finest.

Advertisement

Project Hail Mary isn’t quite an all-timer touchdown, however it packs in heart, horrors and heavy decisions on the titular spacecraft and back home.

And it’ll be hard to beat the bond between Ryan Gosling and a rock puppet for cinematic relationship of the year.

Project Hail Mary is showing in cinemas now.
