Eddie Hall was left with one eye "shut down" and a concussion after a sparring session with Rob 'Big Red' Lamont in preparation for his fight with Thor Bjornsson.
The former world's strongest men will square off in Dubai next week to settle a half-decade-long feud that began when the Icelandic giant accused Hall of cheating at a tournament in 2017.
The pair have been getting into incredible physical condition ahead of the bout, which takes place at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium on March 19, and have sparred with professional boxers in the lead-up.
