Thor Bjornsson has issued strict instructions to his team around who can be near his meals, due to fears his foot will be tampered with ahead of his clash with Eddie Hall..
The former World's Strongest Man has been meticulous with his training ahead of his highly-anticipated fight with Hall, but believes the Brit could do something to his food. The pair both won the competition during their careers in lifting, but have switched to the boxing ring to settle a long-standing rivalry.
To do that, they've dedicated the last two years to losing weight and learning to fight, which will come to a head on Saturday in Dubai. They were engaged in an altercation recently at a gym in the region, where they almost came to blows but were held apart, leading to the pair spitting at one another. And Bjornsson is concerned that Hall will continue to play mind games ahead of the fight.
