2 days before the official stage, “Thor” Hafhor Bjornsson and Eddie Hall officially participated in the weight test at the Jumeirah Creepside hotel in Dubai city, UAE. The total weight of the two boxers was recorded up to 298, thereby becoming the most heavy pair of heavy heavy heavy boxing history.
With sports underwear printed with yellow ducks, Eddie Hall proved quite “lost” with the atmosphere of a professional boxing rite. However, he soon made people change his thoughts with weight before the upper day reached 141kg. Hall's opponent “Thor” Hafhor Bjornsson also impressed with 157kg weight.
Before Thuong Dai played a professional boxing earlier last year, Hafhor Bjornsson was known primarily as an actor's status, as well as competitions about strength. This 33 -year -old man has won the title of the strongest person in Europe many times, as well as once the championship in the world's healthiest contest.
In September last year, Hafhor Bjornsson was noticeable when he lowered the Knock-Out Canadian boxer Devon Larratt within 2 minutes. That can continue with Eddie Hall, when this boxer lost the opponent quite a lot about stature and weight. Hall is not only inferior to “Thor” 16kg, but also 13cm lower than opponent.
The press conference before the match between Hafhor Bjornsson and Eddie Hall became a fierce controversial place. Hall brought the story “Thor” who used to act in the movie Game of Thrones, causing the Iceland boxer to go crazy in front of the audience. Just waiting for it, Hall sarcastically: “I think that interview is done, because Thor cannot control myself.”
