"I didn't break my hand on the Neffati Brothers. But I broke my hand on Mariusz's face.
"I'd say Mariusz is a much harder fight than the Neffatti Brothers.
"But the Neffati Brothers, they won a 2-vs-1 recently. So fair play to them. They've improved. So well done to them."
Hall, 38, underwent medical checks after the fight.

Major update on George Russell's future at Mercedes with D-day fast approaching
George Russell is out of contract at the end of this year but neither he nor Mercedes have been in a rush to put pen to paper on an extension, causing intrigue in the F1 paddock George Russell said he has yet to hold contract talks despite approaching the final six months of his Mercedes deal. And the Brit has been the subject of increasing speculation over his future as a result of his expiring contract. Russell has become team leader at Mercedes since Lewis Hamilton left and has enjoyed an impressive start to life in that new role. Yet, he admits there has been no movement in terms of landing a contract renewal, though he remains calm on that front. "No real conversations, to be honest, because we've got bigger fish to fry at the moment, which is making our car go faster," Russell said when asked about his future ahead of this weekend's Canadian Grand Prix. "I know I'm going to be in Formula 1 next year. My intention and goal is to stay with Mercedes and I think that's very much the intention of Toto [Wolff, team principal] as well, to be honest. There's no real reason for either of us to deviate." Russell is now partnered by teenage starlet Kimi Antonelli, who Mercedes feel can go on to become an F1 superstar in the future. Meanwhile, Max Verstappen has been heavily linked with the Silver Arrows in recent months, should he decide to walk away from Red Bull. It has been predicted that Mercedes would rather let go of Russell than allow Antonelli to slip through their grasp, if they were to land the Dutchman. But the Brit remains unconcerned about the prospect of losing his place to the four-time F1 champion. READ MORE: Max Verstappen snaps at Ted Kravitz as Sky Sports F1 favourite forced to end interview READ MORE: Lando Norris' claim about Oscar Piastri is utter rubbish - and F1 history proves it He said: "It's understandable the likes of Max have always been on the radar, because why wouldn't he be on the radar? He's one of the greatest of all time and I get that. "But then it's down to you to prove your worth and I feel I've done that time and time again over the course of seven years in F1 and my whole career. So I've got no concerns." While there was a time earlier in the season when the prospect of Verstappen walking away from Red Bull was more plausible, but the chances of him doing so have faded. He is highly unlikely to be able the performance clauses in his contract that would allow him to leave this summer, even if he did decide he wants a fresh start. So there should be no barrier between Russell and Mercedes when negotiating a contract extension. Though if, for whatever reason, no agreement is reached, both Red Bull and Aston Martin are understood to have made informal approaches to the Brit and could be interested in trying to lure him away from the Silver Arrows.

Emma Raducanu gets treatment for back injury in worrying scenes as she crashes out of Queen's 17 days before Wimbledon
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EMMA RADUCANU took a medical timeout and struggled with a niggling back injury as she crashed out of the Queen's tournament. Seventeen days before Wimbledon opens its doors for the 2025 Championships, the biggest name in British tennis is once again having to manage her body amid physical problems. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Emma Raducanu needed treatment during her quarter-final at Queen's Credit: PA 3 She was beaten by Qinwen Zheng Credit: Getty After losing the first set of her quarter-final tie with Qinwen Zheng, on the hottest day of the year thus far, the Kent hitter went to the changing rooms to undergo treatment. It all relates to back spasms she suffered before the French Open and prior to arriving in Paris, the 22-year-old had to overcome her fear of needles to undergo acupuncture to help cure the pain. It was on these grounds nearly 12 months ago that Andy Murray injured his back and ended up never playing another singles match. It is not as severe as that but still, those in Raducanu's camp will be praying this incident does not disrupt her plans as she hopes to play in Berlin next week and then Eastbourne before a fourth appearance in the Wimbledon main draw. Zheng, the world No.5, won 6-2 6-4 in a drawn-out affair and will now face an American in the semi-finals – it will either be Emma Navarro or Amanda Anisimova on Saturday. Before walking out into the Andy Murray Arena, Raducanu made a point of taking AirPods out of her ears and putting them away, presumably because she wanted to hear the roar of the public for her entrance. How Zheng would cope mentally with a packed crowd cheering against her would play a significant role in the outcome of this contest. The Olympic singles champion, 22, was not exactly in the fans' good books when she decided in game six, while on break point on Raducanu's serve, to change her shoes. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS The Asian star slipped on the grass and told the umpire that she needed to swap her footwear. Pimm's-fuelled punters were not having any of it and slow-clapped while she sat on her chair and booed when she returned to the baseline, even though Zheng apologised several times for the interruption. 'It's wildly inappropriate' - Moment Emma Raducanu's opponent intervenes and ushers cameraman away 3 Raducanu was unconvincing on her own serve and looked tense and nervous in the opening games and was even questioning some of the calls made by the new electric line calling system. There were two chances, at 4-2 down in the first set, where she might have broken back immediately but Zheng, a huge star in her homeland, fought off those moments. Zheng – who had only won FOUR matches on grass before facing the 2021 US Open champion – sealed the first set with 49 minutes on the clock. It was in bizarre circumstances as she was on the floor, having slipped over again, but Raducanu failed to find the open court, hitting the ball into the net. A set down, Raducanu went backstage and took a medical timeout as she had treatment on a troublesome lower back region. During the first set, she could be seen stretching her back during a changeover. These were worrying scenes but unfortunately a situation that has become all too familiar with Raducanu since that historic Slam win in New York in September 2021. Perhaps a surge of adrenaline explains how she came out looking like a different player in the second set, racing into a 3-0 and then 4-2 lead, the first break in game one courtesy of a Zheng double fault. But with the temperature gauge recording 27.5 degrees, Raducanu felt the heat and soon it was 4-4 apiece as she gifted a break to her opponent due to her sixth of seven double faults in the match. Though she managed to stave off three match points in game 10, Zheng progressed when Raducanu's forehand sailed long.
