Thor Bjornsson demands contract from Tyson Fury for November showdown

Thor Bjornsson has demanded that heavyweight champion Tyson Fury sends over a contract for their planned November duel.

Fury defeated Dillian Whyte back in April in his huge title defence and vowed that the fight would be his last in the sport as he enters retirement. Despite insisting he would not entertain fights against the winner of Anthony Joshua's rematch against Oleksandr Usyk, the 'Gypsy King' said he would be open to exhibition bouts, including one with UFC champion Francis Ngannou.

Another name that has been discussed is strongman fighter Bjornsson, who recently defeated Eddie Hall in his first appearance in the ring. Fury and Bjornsson have trained together in the past and have previously discussed a bout, with the British star now confirming the pair are holding talks to stage an event in November.
