      Eddie Hall fuels Hafthor Bjornsson feud and says he ‘wouldn’t p*** on him if he was on fire’ ahead of boxing bout

      by

      EDDIE HALL ramped up his war of words against Hafthor Bjornsson by insisting he ‘wouldn’t p*** on him if he was on fire.’
      The strongmen rivals have been at each other’s throats for years and will settle their differences in a Las Vegas boxing match later this year.

      There has been plenty of sniping back and forth between the pair, namely over Bjornsson’s world-record deadlift and Hall’s win at the 2017 World’s Strongest Man competition.
      Despite the fight being months away, the behemoths remain unforgiving.
      And Hall, 33, has made it even clearer that he intends to topple Game of Thrones star Bjornsson, 32, despite the Icelandic’s big height and weight advantage.
      Hall, who has lost over 30kg for the fight, told The Mac Life: “Me and Hafthor have been big-time competitors for a long time.

      “We’ve got a hell of a history competing against one another.
      “We absolutely 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.
      “When the boxing came around it was a no-brainer. I get to settle a score and make a few quid, it’s a win-win.

      “I know I’m going to win because I’m going to give it my all, and if I’m confident then you’re f*****.
      “At WSM 2017, I had already spent the prize money – that’s my mindset for this fight.
      “If Eddie Hall is confident you better turn the other way and f*** off because I’m going to f***ing beat you.
      “He can come in all guns blazing, he can think the advantage of height and reach will give him that edge – it isn’t.
      “Thor, this is my message to you: you are f*****. I’m going to fold you in f***ing half.”
      Before The Mountain steps into the ring with Hall, he will face Irish cruiserweight Steven Ward.
      Thor weighed in NINE stone heavier than his rival ahead of the showdown.

      Game of Thrones star Hafthor ‘The Mountain’ Bjornsson to box Irish cruiserweight in prep for Eddie ‘The Beast’ Hall

      by

      STRONGMAN legend Hafthor Bjornsson will test his boxing skills against Irish cruiserweight Steven Ward this month before his Las Vegas showdown with Eddie Hall.
      The Icelandic giant, 32, who holds the world record deadlift at 501kg, will take on his British rival in September, with the fight already billed as ‘the heaviest in history’.

      But before that, Bjornsson – who also starred in hit TV show Game of Thrones – will clash with former WBO Intercontinental light-heavyweight champion Ward.
      The Belfast brawler, 30, holds a 13-1 record and has moved up to 200lbs as a cruiserweight.
      That’s still some way off 2018 World’s Strongest Man winner Bjornsson, who weights around double that and stands at 6ft 7in.
      But Ward has no worries about taking on the ‘Mountain’ in Dubai on January 15th.

      Ward said via British Boxing News: “I’m looking forward to doing something new.
      “I’ve never been in the ring with someone this size, so it will be interesting to see how it pans out.
      “Initially it was just going to be some sparring and I was going to help him out with that technical aspect, but it’s escalated from there.
      “The next thing we know I’m doing an exhibition with the former World’s Strongest Man!

      “I have seen him in the gym twice and he was hitting the bag and moving well for being such a big guy.
      “I didn’t expect him to move as well as he did, but he told me he was a professional basketball player at one point, so that explains why he’s got some good agility.
      “Training for this has been different. It’s 3 x 3 minute rounds so it hasn’t been the way it normally would be for a camp.
      “But I’ve been able to eat a bit more and enjoy training a bit more, so I’m looking forward to it.”
