So the world record is held by a guy called Francis Ngannou. I’ve seen a video of him and he’s an absolute monster,” said Hall afterward. “As he stood, his hands were touching his knees. He has one of the biggest reaches I’ve ever seen,” he added further.

He holds to world record. It’s measured by the speed, force and a few other factors. He hit 129,000 units. That is the hardest hit on the planet,” Hall continued. “He’s a UFC title holder and has one of the hardest bangs on the planet 10 per cent off the world’s hardest punch we know of. Now I know what I’m doing, I think I can come back and smash that,” he concluded.
