Thor Bjornsson and Eddie Hall post different versions of same fight poster

Thor Bjornsson and Eddie Hall have posted different versions of the same fight poster with the Briton noticeably stood at the same height in his own design.

The pair have finally had a date confirmed to settle their rivalry on March 19 in Dubai.

Bjornsson and Hall have now posted different versions of the latest fight poster with Hall portrayed as being realistically smaller than Bjornsson in the Icelandic star's social media post.

Meanwhile Hall's post shows the pair stood at the same height.

The British strongman still stands a noticeable six feet three inches tall but hands his rival a six inch height advantage with the Icelandic giant standing at six feet nine inches tall.

Hall and Bjornsson have expressed their dislike for each other in the build-up to the clash and planned to fight last September.

However the fight was postponed after Hall suffered a detached bicep during his preparations which derailed the potential bout.

The pair have both built up loyal fanbases from their time competing in the World's Strongest Man alongside other documentary exploits.

Bjornsson's fans have been quick to joke about Hall's height in recent days with one fan commenting on the "4 weeks to go" poster: "This is clearly photoshopped! Either that or Eddie is standing on a stool."

Another agreed: "Eddie will get hurt and pull out of the fight when he falls off the stool that he is standing on."

Another continued the joke: "Eddie made some height gains I see."

Another fan took a more serious approach to the height difference, saying: "Eddie fanboys are gonna get triggered because of the height stuff and Thor said that Eddie backed out.

"But you all got to remember that Eddie kept claiming that Thor was gonna pull out, but he ended up pulling out himself."

One fan also agreed: "Mate I’ve already given him grief about that picture, he must be stood on a stool to look you in the eye like that."
