The immediate aftermath of 2017 World's Strongest Man shows why Eddie Hall really hates Thor

Two of the World’s Strongest Man competitors are ready to go toe-to-toe this upcoming weekend to settle their long-running rivalry.

The heated feud between Eddie Hall and Hafthor Bjornsson has continued into the world of boxing, and this will reignite in Dubai, six months after their original fight was supposed to happen – the fight was postponed due to the former tearing his biceps.

Despite their lack of professional fighting experience, both will wear 12oz gloves and no headguards on the night.
