The Game of Thrones star, Hafthor Bjornsson, marked the historical milestone in Abu Dhabi after settling a long grudge against former World’s strongest man Eddie Hall. The six-round action-packed ‘Heaviest Boxing Match in the history’ ended with a unanimous decision in the favor of ‘The Mountain’.
However, subsequent to the fight, the Icelandic giant shared the moments of his victory with his family and friends.

He talked to media personnel and said, “I am so happy now. It’s been a lot of hard work, almost two years too much two years of hard training, but it’s all worth it now. He disrespected my mom, and no one does that. You know you should leave the family out of it.”
Later, he hugged his mother and gets emotional.
However, overwhelmed with the achievement of his son in the epic battle, his mother Ragnheidur Margret Juliusdottir held him tightly close to her chest and said, “I’m happy, very happy. I love my boy.”
Notably, during a press conference ahead of the fight, the duo was going to collide at the event while throwing insults at each other. At that very moment, Eddie Hall, aka ‘The Beast’, mentioned Bjornsson’s mother.
He said, “Quieten your mum down as well.”
For the uninitiated, Bjornsson’s mother was urging them to stop the intense conversation that was leading to a mess. To be brutally honest, ‘The Mountain’ fired on the British for dragging her mother into business.
He burst open with anger and shouted, “Don’t ever f**king talk about my mother, You F**king a******.”
How was the fight between Hafthor Bjornsson and Eddie Hall?
The crowd witnessed several knockdowns in the entire six-round battle. Though the first one came by the right hook of Eddie Hall in the second round, the last two were claimed by ‘The Mountain’.
