Eddie Hall challenges Thor Bjornsson to boxing rematch after Dubai loss

Eddie Hall called for an immediate rematch following his unanimous defeat to long-time rival Thor Bjornsson in Dubai on Saturday.

Hall was left with a nasty cut to his left eye following the super heavyweight clash at the Dubai Tennis Stadium, with 'The Mountain' Bjornsson declared the winner on the scorecards.

"You know what, I can take things as a man. It is what it is, that's boxing," Hall said in an Instagram post.

"At the end of the day I've just fought the biggest man on the planet in a boxing match. I'd like to see anyone else get the balls and do that.

"It's been a hell of a journey; I've enjoyed it and hopefully there's a rematch and we can do business again."
