[15] His win was helped by setting a new national record in the "Viking Hold", hanging on to 20 kg (44lbs) axes in each hand at full stretch for one minute and 18 seconds.

[16] Winning the UK title meant that Hall became the first choice to replace Jono MacFarlane of New Zealand in the Giants Live Melbourne event in February 2012, when the latter suffered a back injury.

That same year, he was featured on BBC One's Watchdog series when the producers enlisted his help to test even the strongest of drivers in specific circumstances.

In March 2016, Hall achieved a new world record for the Elephant bar deadlift in the Arnold Strongman Classic by lifting 465 kg (1,025 lb).

[24][25] The record stood for 3 years and 9 months until 2 May 2020, when it was beaten by Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson with the current world record of 501 kg (1,105 lb) at the World's Ultimate Strongman Feats of Strength series,[26][27] though Hall heavily disputes the legitimacy of the lift given the fact that it was done in Björnsson's home gym rather than in the controlled environment of an official competition.

[30] Hall started his professional boxing career in 2020 when his rival Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson challenged him after breaking the world record for the deadlift.

[31][32] Hall's extensive training regime also incorporated a lot of bench presses, squats, deadlifts, medicine ball slams and burpees.

Hall sustained cuts on top of both eyes and lost by unanimous decision with all three judges scoring the bout 57–54 in favour of Björnsson.

[34][35] Hall's boxing stance during the fight (especially from the fourth round onwards) garnered a lot of attention because of its uniqueness, having kept distinctly leaning over to the right side mimicking the natural movement of a Fiddler Crab, trying to negate the reach and height advantage of Björnsson.

[36] On 20 April 2022, Hall got a tattoo on his foot stating "World’s Strongest Man - Hafthor Julius Bjornsson" to commemorate the fight and his loss.

[44] On 7 June 2024, Hall made his MMA debut competing in a 2v1 bout against social media influencers the Neffati brothers (Jamil and Jamel).

[45] Hall is married to Alexandra, a barbershop owner in Trent Vale, with whom he has a son named Maximus and two daughters born in June 2023 and October 2024.
