The boxing match between Thor Bjornsson and Eddie Hall taking place tonight will be no ordinary pugilistic contest.
For starters, the fighters have weighed in at a monstrous collective weight of 648lb, making it one of the heaviest boxing matches in history. But what makes it particularly noteworthy is that those weights come after a monstrous collective cut that amounts to almost 233lb from their career-high weights in strongman.
And there are another few rules that will differentiate the massive fight from your standard professional boxing event. The pair will step into the ring at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium at 1am for a one-fight card, with the arena having earlier in the day played host to Sunny Edwards world title defence against Muhammad Waseem.
