WARRINGTON Wolves’ Halliwell Jones Stadium will host England’s prestigious Strongest Man competition in 2022.
The strongman event will take place on Sunday 28 August 2022 and it will be the biggest show yet for the competition which will feature five brutal tests of strength at the stadium.
Reigning champion Paul Smith (pictured) will be one of the athletes taking part and was impressed with the venue. “It’s amazing to see how far strongman has come. More and more shows are being held in major stadiums in front of huge crowds, and this marks a massive leap forward for England’s Strongest Man, one of the premier competitions.
“I can’t wait to defend my title. As well as bragging rights to being England’s Strongest, the top 3 will all gain a spot at UK’s Strongest Man which pulls in over 12,000 fans.”
Warrington Wolves CEO Karl Fitzpatrick added: “We’re really excited to be hosting England’s Strongest Man competition next August.
“The events that Glenn [Ross] and his team put together are first class and it’s great that Warrington will be home to the prestigious competition next year. The physicality and strength the athletes show certainly draws some parallels with Rugby League and hopefully it’s something our supporters can get behind and enjoy.
“With The Halliwell Jones Stadium also hosting three men’s Rugby League World Cup games next year, we’re hoping to attract more and more big events to our home ground from 2022 onwards.”
Tickets are on sale now with the action-packed show is ideal for all age groups and children’s tickets starting at just £15.
