Boxing heavyweights are known to be one of the most feared individuals on the planet. They don’t back down from a challenge. Similarly, the WBC and lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has called out the ‘World’s Strongest Man’ Hafthor Bjornsson.

It all started with Fury filming his training video, where he called out the Icelandic strongman. He stated he was going to come to his country and fight him. Bjornsson quickly agreed to the fight as he welcomed fury to his land and promised a “bloodbath”. Furthermore, the strongman posted another story where he appreciated Fury’s training routine after completing it.

He said, “Just finished another good a*s session guys, nothing feels better. Tyson, I like your training style twice a day, 6 times a week, you got this, keep up the good work I will see you soon.” ‘The Gypsy King’ sternly responded claiming that Bjornsson wouldn’t like the training when he’s facing Fury. Additionally, Fury stated he’s the Viking and not the Icelandic strongman.

He said, “Thor, you won’t like my training style when I rip your big head off your shoulders. I’m coming to Iceland to set about you in your own place. Viking, I’m the fucking Viking, me, only ever has been me.”

Bjornsson relished this challenge and said, “You’re coming to challenge me in the land of my ancestors? We will see who is true Viking here in the land of ice and fire.” Whether this fight will come to fruition is hard to tell; however, it has definitely caught the fans’ attention.

Bjornsson’s potential fight against Tyson Fury won’t be his first encounter inside the squared circle. Earlier this year, the Game of Thrones star went toe to toe against fellow strongman winner, Eddie Hall. Both the strongmen put on an incredible show with six rounds of an exciting brawl.

However, after the fight went the distance, Hafthor Bjornsson emerged victorious via decision. Fury isn’t like Hall, hence Bjornsson has his work cut out against the WBC and lineal heavyweight champion.
