Thor Bjornsson is the latest celebrity to have transitioned to boxing. He scored a first-round KO win over Devon Larratt. It was an easy night for the ‘Game of Thornes’ actor, who appeared powerful and flawless in the ring. Having said that, the main event could have been an intense collision.
However, Bjornsson unveiled one-sided dominance to get rid of his opponent, Larratt. The fight happened in Dubai, UAE, and was available live on the PPV. However, it clearly wasn’t a fight for the traditional audiences. The recent boxing collision between Thor Bjornsson and Devon Larratt was purely entertainment-based. In that aspect, it lived up to the hype as the former ‘World’s Strongest Man’ poleaxed his rival.

Instead, he remained on the wrong end of a lopsided beat down. Thor Bjornsson came in as the aggressor and planted heavy blows in the initial stage.
