Thor Bjornsson makes Tyson Fury accusation after exhibition fight 'agreed'

Thor Bjornsson has issued his latest challenge to Tyson Fury in an Instagram video claiming that 'The Gypsy King' is "afraid".

After seemingly agreeing to an exhibition bout following a back and forth on social media, talk of the fight had all but gone away until the Icelandic strongman took to social media on Sunday to playfully reignite the feud between the pair.

A potential fight with Tyson Fury on the horizon has seen Bjornsson return to full-time training with coach Billy Nelson. Nelson is currently coaching Martin Bakole, a promising heavyweight contender and used to coach multi-weight world champion Ricky Burns.

Bjornsson made the switch into the world of boxing in 2021 after he lost a staggering 132lbs (60kg) and he has so far had four fights, two of which were against professional boxers Steven Ward and Simon Vallily - both went the distance.

The Icelander also fought Eddie Hall, the 2017 World's Strongest Man, in his second celebrity boxing match where he won by unanimous decision after dropping Hall on multiple occasions.

The bout with Tyson Fury represents a significantly harder challenge of course, and talk of the fight started to arise after Fury wrote on Instagram last week: "I wonder if Thor Bjornsson could take a crashing right hand to that big jaw? Who would have Thor's hammer? Would this mountain be too big to climb?"

Bjornsson replied,
