Eddie hall vs Thor: Winner| Highlights| Result
Thor Björnsson and Eddie Hall battled for the title of World’s Strongest Man for years, but there’s no question who the better boxer is.
Winner
The pair had been at each other’s throats since the World’s Strongest Man competition in 2017, after which they agreed to settle their rivalry in the ring.
They were due to struggle last September but Hall suffered a torn bicep in training and was forced to pull out.
Björnsson instead fought – and stopped – arm-wrestling champion Devon Larrat in a one-sided bout.
The Icelander also entered the ring for exhibition bouts against professional boxers Steven Ward and Simon Vallee, neither scoring the bout nor declaring the winner.
Both men had predicted a stoppage win by entering the ring after 1 p.m. local time in front of a sparse crowd – but neither could deliver, even though Björnsson knocked Hall twice on the way to victory.
All three judges fought 57–54 in favor of Björnsson, which did not sit well with Hall.

The two strongest men in the world collided earlier today (Sat, March 19, 2022), live on SEGI.tv from inside the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium in the United Arab Emirates, as Hafthor “Thor” Björnsson overhears Eddie Hall – Boxing match expected
Hall opened with some strong punches that caught Björnsson off guard. Björnsson replied with a somewhat solid left hand that Hall’s right eye was bleeding. Hall made a brief withdrawal to start second, but Björnsson quickly recovered. Hall worked more in the third as he pocketed and launched heavy counter shots, but Björnsson was able to score a major knockdown with moments remaining in the round.
Both big men blew up in the fourth, but there was no blemish worth noting. Björnsson began to increase the pressure in the fourth as Hall put his hands down and backs up around the ring. Björnsson showed good cardio down the stretch and clearly had a more polished puncture. “Thor” scored another massive knock in the sixth and final round to finalize his victory.
Result
Haftor Björnsson defeated strongman rival Eddie Hall in his bittersweet boxing performance in Dubai on Sunday morning.
Both fighters were shot down with heavy punches, but it was the Game of Thrones star who separated Hall with his jab.
The fight was awarded to Björnsson, with all three judges fighting 57–54.
However, at times it also seemed that both the fighters were on the verge of a stoppage victory.
