Eddie Hall was confident he could have beaten strongman rival Thor Bjornsson with one arm after injuring his bicep in the lead-up to their fight.
Hall made his boxing debut against Bjornsson earlier this year, but was put down twice on his way to losing a points decision to his bitter rival. The fight was originally scheduled to take place in September of last year, but Hall suffered a detached bicep in training which delayed pushed the fight back six months. Even once the rescheduled meeting took place, Hall admitted his bicep was still causing him issues but he was confident he could have beaten Bjornsson with one arm.
Speaking with Mirror Fighting after launching his own ‘BEAST’ range with the healthier alternative food and drink brand The Skinny Food Co, Hall said: "I'm not a man of excuses, I went into that fight with one arm and I did have Covid a week before but I'm not using those as excuses. I genuinely believed I was going to beat Thor with one arm, I did believe that.
