He said, “Just finished another good a*s session guys, nothing feels better. Tyson, I like your training style twice a day, 6 times a week, you got this, keep up the good work I will see you soon.” ‘The Gypsy King’ sternly responded claiming that Bjornsson wouldn’t like the training when he’s facing Fury. Additionally, Fury stated he’s the Viking and not the Icelandic strongman.

Bjornsson’s potential fight against Tyson Fury won’t be his first encounter inside the squared circle. Earlier this year, the Game of Thrones star went toe to toe against fellow strongman winner, Eddie Hall. Both the strongmen put on an incredible show with six rounds of an exciting brawl.
However, after the fight went the distance, Hafthor Bjornsson emerged victorious via decision. Fury isn’t like Hall, hence Bjornsson has his work cut out against the WBC and lineal heavyweight champion.
