British behemoth Hall, 33, was due to take on his former strongman rival this month before suffering a detached bicep in training.
Bjornsson, 32, will instead face armwrestling giant Devon Larratt as Hall builds his strength back up.
And it is hoped the former World’s Strongest Man winners will finally collide next year after Hall revealed a dramatic six-stone body transformation.
But despite undergoing surgery in July, The Beast is adamant he remains favourite to win the grudge match.
Indeed, Hall believes he is capable of causing real damage to Bjornsson, who has already clocked up two exhibition fights.
That’s despite being nearly seven inches shorter than the Icelandic giant.

Hall told Muscle and Health: “In the beginning, I think everyone had Thor as the favourite because he’s got the reach and height advantage. 
“I’m 6ft 2.5in and he’s 6ft 9in, but I think people are now gauging how seriously I’m taking this. 
“I’m putting my heart and soul into this fight and I don’t do anything 99%. It’s 100% or nothing. 
“I think it’s safe to say the public is starting to get that feeling that I’m taking this very seriously indeed and that Thor is going to get a broken jaw.”

Hall has already vowed to KO Bjornsson in Round Three, saying: “My game plan is to combine power, speed, agility, and endurance and I’ve got all four attributes nailed down. 
“I can do ten three-minute rounds quite comfortably.
“I think the third round will be the end for him. That’s what I’m aiming for.”

The strongman legend, 33, has been training like a Spartan following his move into the world of boxing.
Fuelled by a desire to knock out old rival Thor, Hall has ditched the 31.4 stone (200kg) frame that saw him become the World’s Strongest Man in 2017.
Instead, ‘The Beast’ now weighs a comparatively trim 24.8 stone (158kg).
And after finding his ideal size for boxing, Hall is even more confident of bringing down ‘The Mountain’ when they clash next year in a rescheduled fight.
He told Muscle and Health: “When I won the World’s Strongest Man I was almost 200kg. 
“Right now I weigh about 158kg, so I’m 40 kilos or so down.

“I’m happy to fight 158kg, to be honest. I’ll probably go in at this weight.
“My game plan is to combine power, speed, agility, and endurance and I’ve got all four attributes nailed down. 
“I can do ten three-minute rounds quite comfortably.
“I think the third round will be the end for him. That’s what I’m aiming for.”
As well as training hard, Hall puts his body transformation down to nutrition, dropping his food intake to 6,000 calories a day.
But although that’s over double what most people eat, Hall has slashed his daily intake by HALF.
He added: “In my Strongman days I was consuming upwards of 12,000 calories a day. That was just a constant cow grazing.

“All-day from the second I woke up to the second I went to sleep I’d have meals. I was probably eating eight meals a day with snacks in-between and lots of liquids like high-calorie smoothies. 
“Now, I have four square meals a day and five protein shakes in-between to make sure I don’t dig too big a hole. 
“I’d say I’m on roughly 6,000 calories a day right now. That’s half what I was eating when I was the World’s Strongest Man.”

Meanwhile, Game of Thrones star Bjornsson has also leaned out thanks to a gruelling training regime.
The World’s Strongest Man in 2018 showed off his dramatic body transformation earlier this year.
And Thor has already warmed up for Hall with TWO fights, drawing against Steven Ward and Simon Vallily.
