In a six-round amateur boxing bout, two of the world’s strongest men battled it out on Saturday night in Abu Dhabi at the Dubai Duty-Free Tennis Center.
After years of feuding with one another, Thor Bjornsson and Eddie Hall met in what was labeled as the “heaviest boxing match in history.” At the end of it all, Bjornsson came out on top with a decision victory over Hall.
As the fight progressed, the two ‘titan weights’ were able to score knockdowns.
Bjornsson scored a total of three knockdowns during the fight, including one in the final round of the bout.

At the end of the bout, Bjornsson had won via unanimous decision (57-54, 57-54, 57-54).
When asked if the beef had been squashed, Bjornsson stated:
“Understandably he seemed a bit angry still.”
He continued, “he lost the fight so that’s understandable.”
Bjornsson then noted that he is open to a rematch, stating “if he wants a rematch, I’ll take a rematch no problem.”
