A boxing scrap between Hafthor Bjornsson and Eddie Hall might be a ‘never-seen-before incident’ that can bring immense viewership to the sport. Although celebrities and Internet stars stepping inside the ring are no longer surprising, the collision between two former ‘World Strongest Man’ winners will be massive.

In an exclusive chat with IFL TV, Ford said, “Thor has been very edgy the last two days. Like I said before this fight, I was like, I think Thor is too soft. I think he has just not got that ‘(signaling energy).’”

Hafthor Bjornsson has been a weight lifter his whole life. In order to prepare for a boxing bout, he joined forces with Tyson Fury and seemingly honed his pugilistic skills.
