Game of Thrones star Hafthor Bjornsson opens door to Eddie Hall rematch after beating rival in super-heavyweight fight
HAFTHOR BJORNSSON has already offered Eddie Hall a rematch following their super-heavyweight grudge match.
The strongman rivals – who weighed a combined 47 STONE – settled their score in the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium.
But it appears their near five-year feud could have another chapter after Bjornsson – nicknamed Thor – agreed to a sequel.
He said: “Understandably he seemed a bit angry still. He lost the fight so it’s understandable as well.
“But I’m happy, if he wants the rematch I’ll take a rematch no problem. Would you guys like to see a rematch?”
It is believed a rematch clause has been included, for what was dubbed the heaviest boxing match in history.
Disaster almost struck in round two for Bjornsson after a right hook sent him into the ropes and facing a standing eight count.
But he turned the tide in the fourth with a massive left hand that sent Hall crashing to the canvas.
It was still all to play for in the sixth and final round, but another thudding hook again put down Hall, along with his chances of winning.
Game of Thrones star Thor earned the verdict by unanimous decision, all three judges scoring it 54-57, as Thor hailed his arch nemesis.
