The pro athlete shared a fascinating video on the day of the movie?s release. Talking on his YouTube channel, Levan challenged the Hollywood actor to an arm wrestling match.

Weeks ago, the 34-year-old arm-wrestler seized the opportunity for a brief session with the man behind Thor. In what is probably a glimpse from their mid-shoot scenes, the two actors were in their characters’ attires during the impromptu match. In the video titled ‘Thor vs Hulk’, the two went against each other in an arm wrestle.?

Hemsworth dramatically portrayed his struggle, unable to beat the Georgian champ?s strength. The athlete is known for his seven World Champion titles and is often referred to as the Georgian Hulk. However, news surfaced a month ago that the icon might be on steroids.?

In a clip, the bodybuilder Larry Wheels alleged Saginashvili of steroid use. He claimed in the video that fans would be shocked if he revealed what the top arm wrestler is using on a regular basis. Saginashvili apparently went from 176 pounds to 396 pounds, which had the fans wondering what the Georgian professional arm wrestler was using. The Georgian has since admitted to using SARMS.
