Eddie Hall says Hafthor Bjornsson looks 'skinny' and 'ill' ahead of fight

Eddie Hall has said that opponent Hafthor Bjornsson looks ‘ill’ and ‘skinny’ ahead of their highly anticipated boxing clash.

Hall and Bjornsson face off this weekend in Dubai to settle their strongman rivalry in what has been dubbed as the ‘Heaviest Fight in History’.

Bjornsson has faced concern from fans in the build-up after an incredible weight loss left him 60kg lighter.

The English fighter has echoed these concerns and claims he will have the advantage in their fight after opting to come in heavier.

Speaking to Muscle and Health, Hall said: “My goal has been to come into this fight as big, heavy and strong as possible.

“I have never, ever heard a boxer say, ‘I wish I was weaker for the fight’, or ‘I wish I was lighter for that fight’.
