Englishman Eddie Hall has accepted an invitation from his bitter strongman rival Hafthor Bjornsson to fight in a sanctioned boxing bout after 'The Mountain' broke his deadlift record.
Bjornsson, who shot to fame as The Mountain in hit HBO show Game of Thrones, beat Hall's 2016 deadlift world record on Saturday after lifting an astonishing 501kg.
Hall, who was crowned World's Strongest Man in 2017, set the previous record of 500kg in the same year he was crowned the best in the world.
The pair have long been engaged in a war of words with each previously accusing the other of cheating.
In the build-up to the lift, 32-year-old Hall also claimed the 501kg record would not be legitimate as it was done in his gym rather than in competition — he did congratulate him after, however.
