Eddie Hall breaks silence after losing grudge boxing fight to Thor Bjornsson

Eddie Hall hopes Thor Bjornsson will offer him a rematch after losing the strongmen's grudge fight.

Hall was knocked down twice as he lost to Bjornsson on points in Dubai on Saturday night.

And he hopes to be granted the chance to avenge his defeat in a second encounter.

"You know what, I can take things as a man," Hall said in a video posted to Instagram. "It is what it is, that's boxing. At the end of the day I've just fought the biggest man on the planet in a boxing match. I'd like to see anyone else get the balls and do that.

"It's been a hell of a journey; I've enjoyed it and hopefully there's a rematch and we can do business again.

"I want to wish everyone out there.. that you're staying safe, staying positive and you keep moving forward in life. The most important thing is family; this gorgeous baby [Hall's wife] is my rock and no matter what happens I get to go home to her and the kids."

Bjornsson, meanwhile, looks set to continue his boxing career having fought three times before his win over Hall.

He told iFL TV: "I congratulated him, I said, 'Thank you very much'. I said he fought well, which he did

"I told him he's the only man that's dropped me in the ring. I'm not going to go into details with what he said, but that's what I said."

"I'm loving this journey. I'm still a beginner. I'd say I'm OK for a beginner, I've learned a lot in a short period of time.

"So who knows where I'll be in a year from now. How much can I improve in a year from now.

"Maybe I'll be able to fight proper guys. Who knows? The only thing stopping you is your mind and I believe I can go as far as I want.

"And as long as I'm enjoying this journey, I'll keep going."
