The Boxing world is going to mark a remarkable milestone by witnessing the heaviest boxing match in the sport’s history between former world’s strongest man Eddie Hall and the Game of Thrones star Hafthor Bjornsson on March 19, 2022.

However, the giants were most likely to collide in September 2021, but because of a bicep injury during a training session for the event, ‘The Beast’ pulled out of the fight. Since then, the duo was on verbal exchange.

And again at the beginning of the year 2022, the talks heated and eventually ended with the confirmation of the fight.

For the uninitiated, ahead of the most anticipated showdown, the pair sat to initiate a war of words during their face-off.

The talks started with the shaking of hands, as they did back in 2017.

However, slowly and steadily, things started to change, and the course of interaction became ‘X-rated’.

What did Hafthor Bjornsson say?

Before joining the table, ‘The Mountain’ and ‘The Beast’ had taken digs at each other in the presence of their team. According to the ‘Game of Thrones’ star, the British walked into his building and spitted on him early this week. However, they were parted, but after injuring a few people around them.

While reminding ‘The Beast’, the excuses he had made to avoid the fight, the Icelandic star took a dig in a hilarious tone. However, Hall continued to tease ‘The Mountain’ in response by making signs through his hands and laughing over it.

And finally, Bjornsson burst out and said, “Are you saying I’m gonna lie for your show, look in the mirror you fat p*g.”
