Thor Bjornsson has admitted his body is extremely fatigued and sore as he continues his preparations to face Eddie Hall.
The Icelandic giant is currently taking part in a gruelling training camp to condition himself for his long-awaited boxing fight with Hall.
It is just under three weeks until the scheduled bout takes place on March 19 and Bjornsson has been preparing alongside Scottish coach Billy Nelson.
However Bjornsson is unconcerned by soreness in his body and believes it is normal after difficult sessions.
"Something that f**** with my life is that I am a bit fatigued right now," Bjornsson said on his YouTube channel . "There is a lot of hard sessions.
"I can definitely feel the fatigue in my legs, hamstrings and my hands. I wake up every morning with inflammation in my arms but luckily my knees are quite healthy.
"My body is very healthy guys don't get me wrong, I feel healthy in other aspects of my life. It is absolutely normal to feel sore, beaten up and feel extremely every tired every day which is normal.
"I know my body I know at this stage when it is injured compared to when it is extremely sore."
Fans have admitted their concern on social media that Bjornsson looks unhealthy after his recent weight loss.
The strongman has made a remarkable body transformation having shed a quarter of his body weight to drop from 205kg to 145kg.
However this has put him in good stead for his clash with Hall, having now already competed three times in the boxing ring.
Bjornsson fought Steven Ward and Simon Valily in exhibition bouts and also defeated arm-wrestler Devon Larratt with an opening-round beatdown.

Hall has not yet taken to the boxing ring and was forced to pull out of their scheduled September show after suffering a detached bicep.
Words have continued to be exchanged on social media as the fight date looms, with the pair expressing their hatred for one another.
Bjornsson has offered a confident knockout prediction for the fight with a stark warning to his rival.
"I think I'll knock him out in the third or fourth round," Bjornsson told iFL TV about the fight.
"I'm not too worried about when or how, I've said it in silly action when we're talking but I'm not too worried about when.
"I'm just focused on me, focused on getting as good as possible, and people can make predictions on how they're going to win fights.
"But at the end of the day when you're in the ring things can change very fast and you have to be quick to adjust even though you have a game plan because it might not work."
