‘The Mountain’ is all set to battle against the former British strongest man, Eddie Hall, in a much-anticipated showdown. They were scheduled to exchange leather last September.

‘The Mountain’ had said, “Yeah, I know he’s at home chilling in the sofa with his popcorn and cola. Enjoy your life buddy, I’m going to knock you out soon.”

On the other hand, Eddie is also ready to fight Hafthor. He said, “Winning is everything in this once-in-a-lifetime clash. But I know one thing – I want it more and will leave Thor lying on the floor.”
