Eddie Hall insists he could beat rival Thor Bjornsson in a street fight

Eddie Hall is confident that he would come out on top in a street fight against Thor Bjornsson despite losing to his strongman rival in the ring.

Former World's Strongest Man Hall made his boxing debut against bitter rival Bjornsson in the 'heaviest fight in boxing history' earlier this year, but was dropped twice on his way to losing an unanimous decision. Hall had a tattoo of Bjornsson's name inked on his foot in the hopes of securing a rematch against him, but the Icelandic strongman has put a two year timeline a potential rematch against his rival.

Speaking to Mirror Fighting after launching his own ‘BEAST’ range with the healthier alternative food and drink brand The Skinny Food Co, Hall said: "In all brutal honesty, you could tell in the lead up to it that I just wanted to fight Thor anywhere. I wanted him on the street because that's where I know 100 per cent I can have him, but we ended up fighting in the ring and he got the better of me and that's that."
