And Wilson – a retired Olympic gymnast – was on hand to feel the full force of the Brit’s power.

Hall, who stands 6ft 3in and 25STONE, completely dwarfed the 5ft 6in, 9st 4lb, ex-athlete.

Wilson attempted a punch of his own but it has no affect whatsoever on the super-heavyweight.

Hall, 34, said: “The thing is, mate, I train – with my training, I’ll hang on a bar and my training partner will smash me in the gut.

“Obviously, as you can see, I’ve also got a massive wall of thick muscle there.”

Later on, Hall lands a single jab to Wilson, who is wearing a body belt – but it still sent him flying.

Wilson, 26, said:  “My brain hit the back of my head.”

Hall then joked: “I think I might have actually knocked him out…”

But Wilson rather unconvincing replied: “I’m alright, yeah.”

Hall and ‘Thor’ Bjornsson are squaring off against each other in Dubai tonight in fight billed the ‘heaviest boxing match in history’.

Bjornsson, 33, boxed in a three-round exhibition bout in Dubai against Irish cruiserweight Steven Ward to prepare for the grudge match.

Both giants have dramatically transformed their bodies as they swap weight lifting for tireless punching.
