It includes a rematch clause if both rivals agree – but Hall insisted it will not be necessary.
He told Muscle and Health: “I wanna move on to another fight and I know for a fact Thor doesn’t want to rematch.
“I don’t blame him. He knows what’s coming to him and he doesn’t want that to happen twice.
“At the end of the day, I’ve been boxing for two years, and I’ve put my heart and soul into it, so it’d be a shame to fight once and make an exit. I’d like to carry on.

“If both parties want to do it, but I’m focused on this fight.”

Thor told SunSport: “I’m enjoying it and if I have more opportunities to fight, I’m open to it.

With the rise of celebrity boxing and returning legends making a habit of questionable comebacks, the weekend’s winner in the Middle East could be inundated with future fight offers.
But Thor, who competed in three exhibitions to prepare him for judgement day, has refused to think that far ahead.
He said: “I haven’t really thought about that, to be honest with you.
“I’m just focussed on this one goal now, to fight Eddie Hall, and after that I’m open to other suggestions. 
“If there’s something exciting that comes up and it interests me, you know, maybe, possibly.”

Thor, who has incredibly lost TEN STONE since swapping barbells for boxing gloves, has put his body through the wringer for almost two years.
But Bjornsson insisted ahead of the fight of his life, he will attempt to secure eternal bragging rights while injury-free.
Thor said: “I’m feeling absolutely great – apart from being sore which is normal and slightly tired – but I’m feeling ready, I’m feeling good. 
“No injuries, I’ve taken good care of my body. Doing my hot and cold sauna treatments twice a week. 
“Training almost twice a day, resting on Saturdays. So everything has been going extremely well and I’m extremely thankful that my body is not injured.”

The ex-strongman champion used to weigh over 32stone
But his rivalry with Britain’s Eddie Hall – which has gone from deadlifts to the boxing ring – has seen him dramatically transform his body.
After almost two years of brutal training, ahead of the grudge match in Dubai this Saturday, Bjornsson dropped to 22st 8lb.
The man known as Thor used to eat up to 10,000 calories a day but has cut over half to just 4,000 since swapping weights for gloves.
And as it all comes to a close, the Reign Total Body Fuel athlete admitted the strict dieting and intense training regime has been no mean feat to conquer.

Bjornsson: How giants compare as Beast threatens deadlift record holder
Thor told SunSport: “Nothing has really been easy. Everything has been difficult. 
“What has been the most difficult? It’s hard to pick one thing but the diet was extremely challenging for me. 
“My training style has changed so much, so much conditioning work, so much endurance work that I’m doing. 
“The workouts I’m doing and the diet, there are days where I’m like, ‘Oh my God, I don’t feel like eating fish and spinach again’.”

Despite the dedication Thor has showcased throughout his boxing transition, the super-heavyweight has at least been afforded the odd treat.
He said: “Sometimes I want to stuff my face with a burger or pizza or something else, but I have to stick with my diet and keep going. 
“I’m allowed to cheat once a week, which is actually great for your mental health I feel like.
“You have to allow your body to breathe once a week and also rest.  It’s about staying injury free.
“Rest and your mental health is so important. When I say ‘cheat’ – yeah, I might have a pizza, I might have a burger. 
“But mostly it’s just enjoying some good family food. I’m just talking about food that I enjoy to eat and a lot of that is also healthy.”

Thor – who stands 6ft 8in which earned him the nickname The Mountain on TV – has followed the blueprint to boxing success.
Already he has competed in three exhibitions bouts in preparation for the fight of his life.
But he claimed a can or two of Reign Total Body Fuel has been his secret to success while hid body is beaten down and desperate for a boost.
Thor revealed: “These have 300mg of caffeine in them which is good for me.
“Electrolytes are super important, it can prevent you from getting camps.
“When you’re training extremely hard, you sweat a lot and you lose electrolytes.

“That means you need to replace them and also when you train you might feel a little tired, this also has 300mg of natural caffeine. 
“Amino-acids too, they have so many ingredients which are super important for getting the most of the sessions.”
Thor will fight Hall over six, two-minute rounds with knockouts permitted – and comes into it fighting fit, without any injury setbacks.
He said: “I’m feeling absolutely great – apart from being sore which is normal and slightly tired – but I’m feeling ready, I’m feeling good. 
“No injuries, I’ve taken good care of my body. Doing my hot and cold sauna treatments twice a week. 
“Training almost twice a day, resting on Saturdays. So everything has been going extremely well and I’m extremely thankful that my body is not injured.”

And Game of Thrones star Bjornsson – nicknamed Thor – is ready to help the Gypsy King in training camp after meeting him in December.
He told talkSPORT: “We spoke about training, what is happening, the plans for his future, the plans for my future, what’s next for him and what’s next for me.
“Just bits and pieces of everything. He’s a really nice guy and I have a huge respect for Tyson Fury as a boxer and a person.
“He seems like a really decent guy. We had some nice talks and even spoke about training together one day.

“I know he’s starting his camp and I would love to go there and be a part of that if that is on the table and an offer.”
Reign Total Body Fuel athlete Thor, 33, himself is on the verge of fighting strongman rival Eddie Hall, 34, this Saturday in Dubai.
A month later, Fury, 33, puts bragging rights of his own on the line against Whyte, 33, but has the backing of his Iceland’s Bjornsson.
Thor said: “Tyson Fury is undefeated, the best heavyweight boxer in the world right now. One hundred per cent Tyson Fury wins by knockout.”

The 6ft 8in powerhouse has been training to fight Hall for almost two years and took inspiration from some of boxing’s best along the way.
Thor revealed: “I watched a lot of different boxers.
“The ones that are active right now, old boxers like Lennox Lewis, Mike Tyson, [Evander] Holyfield.
“Now people like Canelo, Tyson Fury, Teofimo Lopez, I know him a bit and he’s a great fighter, GGG (Gennady Golovkin).
“I just love to watch these guys who are great at their game and I try to watch as much and learn from them.
“I watch a lot of boxers, but those are the main names I like to look up when I’m on YouTube.”

TYSON FURY finally met his match after he squared up to Game of Thrones giant Hafthor Bjornsson. Usually, the WBC heavyweight champion towers over his opponents, but sizes up equally with Bjornsson.
Tyson Fury pictured with Game of Thrones giant Hafthor BjornssonCredit: Instagram
The pair, both 6ft 9in, posed topless as Bjornsson – known as ‘Thor’ – visited Fury at one of his evening with tour nights.
Fury, 33, is one of the biggest heavyweights in the world, weighing in 19st 7lb for his last fight, a trilogy win over Deontay Wilder, 36.
But that is nothing on the 23STONE Bjornsson weighs, which is only after a dramatic nine-stone body transformation.
What Fury does have over the Icelandic former strongman is a life of boxing experience, reigning as a two-time unbeaten heavyweight champion
Bjornsson, 33, meanwhile is preparing to fight rival Eddie Hall, 33, who he called out in May 2020 after he broke the Brit’s 501kg deadlift record.
Bjornsson has had three tune-up exhibition bouts in preparation for the grudge match with Hall next year.

They were against Irish cruiserweight Steven Ward, 31, English heavyweight Simon Vallily, 36, and most recently Canadian Larratt, 46.
And Bjornsson is sure to have picked up some tips from unbeaten Fury, who is one of his favourite fighters.
He even claimed he would one day fight his boxing idol, even if he has no hope of winning.
Bjornsson told Muscle and Health: “I know I’d get my ass beaten against Tyson Fury today, but if I was offered that opportunity, I would not turn it down.
“The opportunity to fight someone that great would be an honour for me and I just couldn’t say no to that.
“But I would get my ass beaten, that’s for sure.
“I’d need far more experience and a few more years under my belt to stand a chance against someone that good.”

TEOFIMO LOPEZ took a MONSTER punch to the stomach from super-heavyweight Hafthor Bjornsson. The unified lightweight champion – who weighs 14 STONE less – was taking part in the ‘body shot challenge’.

So he allowed Game of Thrones star Bjornsson – affectionately known as ‘Thor’ – to smash him in the mid-rift with a massive right hook.
To Lopez’s credit he took the blow like a champ and laughed it off, while clearly feeling the affects but got his own back with a body shot of his own.
Bjornsson, 32, has spent the last year training in boxing as he prepares for a grudge match against strongman rival Eddie Hall, 33.
He has competed in three exhibition bouts, against Irish cruiserweight Steven Ward, 31, English heavyweight Simon Vallily, 36, and most recently Canadian Larratt, 46.
Bjornsson was due to fight Hall last month until his British rival withdrew injured, postponing the clash till March 2022.
Meanwhile Lopez, 23, is unbeaten in 16 fights and dethroned lightweight king Vasiliy Lomachenko, 33, in October last year.

He has been scheduled to face mandatory challenger Georges Kambosos Jr, 28, but a bout with coronavirus and TV network disputes held it up.
Now DAZN have inherited the broadcast rights from Triller and have set the title fight for November 27 in New York.
But afterwards, Lopez has already verbally agreed a fight with rival Devin Haney who holds the WBC title.
Haney, 22, is looking to return by December and sent out an offer to JoJo Diaz, 28, a former super-featherweight title.
Diaz was in line to fight Ryan Garcia, 23, until the unbeaten lightweight pulled out with a shoulder injury.

TYSON FURY is among Hafthor Bjornsson’s favourite fighters along with British boxing legend Lennox Lewis. Game of Thrones star Bjornsson has been learning the sweet science for over a year now after calling out strongman rival Eddie Hall in May 2020.
Hafthor Bjornsson’s top five favourite boxers
The actor – nicknamed ‘Thor’ – has had three boxing exhibitions in preparation for his grudge match with Hall, now set for March 2022.
They were against cruiserweight Steven Ward, 31, heavyweight Simon Vallily, 36, and most recently Canadian arm wrestler Devon Larratt, 46.
And in an interview with SunSport, Bjornsson revealed England’s Fury, 33, and Lewis, 56, are two of his favourite all-time boxers.
American heavyweight icon’s George Foreman, 72, and Mike Tyson, 55, are also on that list.
And lastly, boxing’s current pound-for-pound No1, four-division champion Canelo Alvarez, 31, makes up Bjornsson’s selection.
His super-heavyweight fight with Hall, 33, was set for September, until his rival pulled out with a bicep injury.

It allowed Bjornsson, 32, one more exhibition tune-up, which he won in the first round, weighing a career-low 23 STONE.
That is NINE STONE, lighter than his days as a 450lb strongman competitor.
Hall has opted against warm-up fights of any sorts, instead focussing on behind-closed-door bouts and hard sparring.
But Reign Total Body Fuel ambassador Bjornsson backed his decision to learn on the job in front of the lights.
He said: “I’ve been in sports my whole life, and for me at least, but most people agree with me here that when you compete and step into the ring with referees with the lights on and the pressure, that’s how you get better. 
“That’s how you gain experience and when you’re able to learn from your mistakes as well. 
Hafthor Bjornsson incredible nine stone weight loss
“I can train hard and spar extremely hard in training sessions but competing the way I’m doing, this was my third match, that gives me the most experience I could ever ask for. 
“That’s the reason why I’m doing it, because I want to be as prepared as possible before the Eddie fight. 
“If I was him, I would definitely do exhibition matches and try to learn as fast as possible because neither of us want to lose this fight. 
“He obviously want to win against me and I obviously want to win against him.
“So, I truly believe he is doing everything he believes is the best. He doesn’t believe in those exhibition matches, but I do and that’s fine.
“He has his training ways to do things and I have my training ways to do things.”

Hafthor Bjornsson slams Eddie Hall as the biggest bully on internet More

HAFTHOR BJORNSSON joked he is ‘always hungry’ after dramatically losing NINE STONE on his boxing journey. The Game of Thrones star weighed as heavy as 32 STONE while competing in strongman.

But for his last fight, against arm wrestler Devon Larratt, Bjornsson scaled 23 stone, revealing his huge body transformation.
The super-heavyweight has had to drastically cut the calories as part of his switch to boxing where he will eventually fight rival Eddie Hall.
Bjornsson told SunSport: “I’m training more in boxing than I did for strongman.
“I’m in the gym more because of all of the conditioning work, there’s a lot of conditioning work. 
“I’m boxing like six times a week, sparring three times a week, then I’m running like five times a week. 
“There’s a lot of different training styles, in the gym like two times a day but that’s just what you do, so that’s the biggest difference. 

“And the diet too, there’s a few changes in the diet, not eating nearly as much, in strongman I used to eat a lot. 
“It was all about eating every two-three hours, big meals, while here I’m almost always hungry and always like to eat more. 
“The diet and the training are the biggest change in the two sports.” 
Bjornsson, 32, called out Hall, 33, in May 2020 after he broke the Brit’s 501kg deadlift record.
Ever since, the pair have dropped the weights and picked up gloves to prepare for a spectacle billed as ‘the heaviest boxing match in history’.
Reign Total Body Fuel ambassador Bjornsson has had three tune-up exhibition bouts in preparation for the grudge match with Hall in March.
They were against Irish cruiserweight Steven Ward, 31, English heavyweight Simon Vallily, 36, and most recently Canadian Larratt, 46.

Bjornsson, known as ‘Thor’, shocked even himself as he weighed in a career-low but does not expect to drop any size.
He said: “I was actually surprised how light I was. 
“I was on the scales at the weigh-ins, I was 147kilos if I remember right, rather light in my opinion, but that’s fine, completely fine. 
“I think being somewhere around that is good for me, I doubt that I will drop more but you never know, I’m not really too worried about my body weight. 
“I’m just trying to train the way I’m doing and if that means I’m going to lose more weight, then so be it. 
“But I doubt that I will, because I’ve lost a lot of weight so far.”
