Both have dropped a significant amount of weight ahead of the fight, and Bjornsson took to Instagram to reveal his latest transformation.
The Game of Thrones star – known as Thor – boxed in an exhibition against Irish cruiserweight Steven Ward in January.
But Hall, who was hit with criticism of his boxing skills by UFC legend Joe Rogan, has remained unfazed.
The Brit has undergone a drastic body transformation of his own, despite still eating 7,000 calories a day during training.
He revealed he cut down to 25st 5lb in the summer.
And that is still over two stone heavier than Nikolai Valuev, the heaviest champion in history.
But punching legend Eric ‘Butterbean’ Esch weighed as heavy as 29st 7lb the night he fought Joe Siciliano in 2007.
Hall would far outweigh the current crop of heavyweight stars, and his coach wants the former World’s Strongest Man to one day be among them.

The trainer, who goes by the name Lydon, said: “I’m seeing massive differences every time Eddie comes to training.
“I give him something to work on, he comes back and he’s nailed it.
“We’ve got him from being like a man who is like a steel bar and quite rigid because of his size – the size is still there – but now he’s got a lot of whip in his punches.
“He’s really punching crisp and hard.
“I said to Ed that by the time he boxes Thor, I want him in the position where he’s able to box any British heavyweight.
“He’s doing ringcraft, technique and by the time he’s ready to box this time next year I feel Ed will be able to box any British heavyweight.”

HAFTHOR BJORNSSON has vowed to knock out Eddie Hall after making his boxing debut against Steven Ward.
The Icelandic strongman, 31, gave a good showing in his exhibition clash with the Northern Irishman on Friday in Dubai.

Bjornsson showed some decent footwork, movement and jabbing technique against Ward, and even dropped the pro boxer on one occasion.
But the three-round fight, with each lasting three minutes, ended in a stalemate.
And speaking afterwards, the 2018 World’s Strongest Man winner declared he will KO British rival Hall when the duo collide in Las Vegas later this year.
Bjornsson, who also holds the world-record deadlift at 501kg, said: “I have huge respect for this sport, this is just the beginning.

“I will be in the best shape of my life in September this year and I will knock Eddie Hall out.”
Meanwhile, Ward was full of praise for his much bigger opponent.
Ward said: “What a night. The exhibition is over and big Thor hits like a horse.
“But it was great. It was quite exciting, it was a great set-up and it was class having a crowd finally back watching boxing. I never expected Thor to be that fit.”

All eyes will now be on Hall, another former World’s Strongest Man winner and the first person in history deadlift half a ton.
He has made no secret of his disdain for Game of Thrones star Bjornsson, saying: “We absolute f***ing despise each other beyond belief. If he was on fire I wouldn’t p*** on him.
“The hatred is 100 per cent real. If I saw Thor face-to-face it would take a lot for me not to punch him in the face.”
