And after a chance encounter with former World’s Strongest Man Eddie Hall, the unlikely duo teamed up to work out and make comedy videos together.
“Eddie was so easy-going – he was up for anything and it felt like a great day out,” Ty, from Manchester, told What’s The Jam.
“He got in touch on Instagram, asking if I would make some content.
“We had both been in an MMA fight the year before together.”
The pair spent the day filming skits, pumping iron, and joking around.

In one clip, Eddie can be seen cheering Ty on in the gym, while another shows the pair wrapping each other in neon pink tape.
Ty said, “At one point, he actually punched me, so I can say I’ve been smacked by The Beast.
“I have asked him if he needs a ring girl for his next fight with Dillon Danis.”
