What is Hafthor Bjornsson’s net worth, and what is fight purse for Eddie Hall boxing bout?
HAFTHOR BJORNSSON is better known as The Mountain to some.
The 6ft 8in Game of Thrones star is settling his feud with fellow Worlds Strongest Man winner Eddie Hall in a boxing ring in Dubai.
And Thor has warned Eddie Hall he is ready to go the full six-round distance – despite carrying 23 STONE into their fight.
He told SunSport: “I can see myself knocking him out, but I’m also OK with going six rounds, if needed.
“I’m happy to do either way, I’m able to go six rounds, I’ve been sparring very often six rounds, even more.
“We do roughly six rounds sparring then I’ll do four rounds on the bags, so I do a lot more work than the six rounds.
“So I know for a fact that my shape is strong enough to go six rounds, so I’m ready to go there if needed.”
Bjornsson, 33, has lost over TEN STONE during his two-year preparation to face Hall, 34.
