Eddie Hall will have Thor Bjornsson's name tattooed on his body in order to secure rematch

Eddie Hall has confirmed he WILL have Thor Bjornsson's name tattooed on his body in order to secure a rematch with his strongman rival.

The heavyweights settled their long-running rivalry in the boxing ring earlier this month with Bjornsson knocking Hall down twice en-route to a points victory. The Icelander later admitted he has little interest in a second fight but is willing to trade blows again if Hall follows through with their pre-fight bet.

The two giants had agreed that the loser would have the winner's name and "World's Strongest Man" inked on their body. And Hall has confirmed he will go under the needle - as long as he is guaranteed a second shot. "We never had anything formal in writing; I did try to, I reached out to the promoter a couple of times trying to get a zoom call with Thor but it never came to that." he said.
